An Assessment on Friction Stir Welding of High Melting Temperature Materials

Article Preview

Abstract:

Friction Stir Welding (FSW) as a joining technique with regard to low melting temperature materials such as aluminum alloys has already been established and implemented in the industry. But, with regard to high melting temperature metals and alloys the major issue still to get successfully addressed is a pertinent tool material for a class of work materials and to get their operating parameters optimized. This paper presents a detailed assessment on the FSW of high melting temperature (HMT) materials, giving emphasis on the tool materials, tool geometry and FSW equipment aspects based on the information gathered from experimental studies and research publications.
