Defects formation in friction stir welding: A review
Keywords:
Friction stir welding, Defects, FSW of dissimilar metalsAbstract
Friction stir welding (FSW) is an advanced solid state joining process for joining Aluminum alloys, and Magnesium alloys. In the recent years, it is gaining enormous applications in shipbuilding, aerospace, automotive, railway rolling stock, robotics, and others. In this review article, authors are focused on the formation of different defects during friction stir welding. Such as, Tunnel defect, Flash defect, Kissing bond defect, Void/Wormhole defect, Cavity or Groove/Channel like defect, and Cracks and Crack line root defect. The defects were influencing the quality of the weldment and affect the microstructural and mechanical properties. The defects can be overcome by optimizing the process parameters along with suitable tool geometry. In particular, various difficulties and defects observed during dissimilar welding of the Al-Cu and Al-Steel are addressed.
