Abstract


In the current article, the present state of understanding the main process parameters affecting the process of friction stir welding (FSW), microstructures and mechanical properties of the joint, condition monitoring and numerous modeling techniques used in the FSW process have been reviewed. After a brief introduction of FSW process, in the second section; main process parameters affecting the FSW process like tool geometry have been reviewed. Various models have been developed by numerous researchers for the stabilization of the process; these models have discussed in the third section. In the fourth section, the influence of FSW process on the microstructure and mechanical properties of joint and condition monitoring during the operation have been discussed. In the final section, the intention of this review and the future scope of this emerging joining technique have been discussed.
