Friction Stir Welding of the Aluminum Matrix Composite - A Literature Review

Article Preview

Abstract:

Aluminium matrix composites have received the attention of numerous researchers, because of its attractive properties like high strength, good thermal conductivity and more strength to weight ratio. Application of the conventional welding processes for aluminium matrix composites, facilitates the formation of undesirable phase at the welded region, which limits the wide spread application. The objective of this paper is to review the literatures belonging to the friction stir welding of the composites and explore the challenges associated to maximize joint efficiency. The major contribution of this paper is to study the issue of welding of ex-situ and in-situ composites, various process parameters, properties of joint and post weld heat treatment process to improve the joint efficiency. This literature review provides some research gaps in the friction stir welding of composites.
