The Role of Friction Stir Welding Process Parameter on Mechanical Properties of Magnesium Alloy AZ31B

Abstract:

The Friction Stir welding is a solid state welding invented in the year 1991.This welding technique is highly energy efficient, eco-friendly in joining the high strength aerospace aluminums alloys and its other alloys which are not able to weld by the conventional fusion welding process. Initially FSW is use to weld aluminums alloys and gradually it applies to all form of metals and alloys. In this review article the current state of understanding and development of FSW with respect to Magnesium alloys AZ 31 B is addressed. And particular emphasis is given to the effect of FSW process parameters on the mechanical properties, corrosion behavior and microstructure evolution. At this stage there is wide gap in understanding the mechanism of dissimilar Magnesium welds on microstructure evolution and microstructure property relationships with respect to FSW and Submersible FSW process.
