Abstract

Friction-stir welding (FSW) is a solid-state joining process and used to join light
alloy metals, which finds various industrial applications in aerospace, automotive and ship
building, etc. Obtaining the required range of the parameters in friction-stir welding is
essential for ensuring defect free and high strength welded joints. This paper presents the
various process parameters used to find the mechanical and micro structural properties of
friction stir welded components.
