Abstract

Friction stir welding is generally recognized as a solid state welding process and developed to overcome the difficulties of joining of aluminium alloys. Later, this process has been adapted to join copper, steel, dissimilar metals, magnesium, composites, etc. This concept can be further used in friction stir processing of metals, production of micro composites and coating of coppers on steel. This chapter elucidates the concept of friction stir welding process, material flow pattern, evolution of microstructure at weld region, and effect of process parameters on mechanical properties.
