The aim is to analyze a junction produced by a Friction Stir Welding (FSW) joining process under multiaxial loading, employing a modified Arcan test that allows an angle variation of the loading in order to evaluate the failure of the FSW weldment as compared to the base material. A short review of the earlier studies and relevant theories about the FSW processes and fracture modes I and II under multiaxial loading are presented and were experimentally evaluated for an AA2024-T3 aluminum alloy sheets (t = 1.6 mm) processed by FSW. The results obtained can serve as a basis to compare the junctions made using FSW and conventional joint methods such as rivets (very common practice in the aeronautical industry).

The joining of dissimilar metals, T2 copper and Q235 mild steel was carried out by friction stir welding. The material flow of different shapes of the probe and different forms of welding joints were studied, the material flow behavior on different locations from the probe was also analyzed. The experimental results showed that the screw thread in probe is the main factor in driving material flow along the thickness direction of the weld during FSW of copper and steel, the flow morphology of the weld is significantly different with vary forms of welding joints, and the material flow on different locations from the probe are quite different from each other. Instantaneous cavity will form at the upper of the weld with the use of left screw thread probe during FSW, and if not promptly and adequate padding, it is prone to appear hole-type defects.

Friction stir welding is a solid state joining process which is used to join metals and alloys having low weldability .Study about the effect of FSW parameters like tool rpm, tool transverse speed and tool pin profile. A vertical milling head is used to produce FSW joints. In this study, solid state joining technology of friction stir welding (FSW) was carried out for Al and Mg butt joints and other dissimilar metals. This review article thoroughly highlights the influence of FSW working parameters on microstructure, mechanical properties. This effort not only sets eminent outcomes of the preceding research personnel but also proposes forthcoming guidelines for FSW of dissimilar metals.

Hybrid metallic structure, which is composed of aluminum alloy as a representative of light metal and steel as that of high strength metal, has been paid attention remarkably in these days, especially in the transportation vehicle industry from the energy saving viewpoint. To perform the hybrid structure, friction stir welding FSW has been recognized to be an effective way for the welding between dissimilar metals, like between steel and Al alloy. Based on our previous findings on the butt welding between dissimilar metals with straight weld line, welding between dissimilar metals with circular weld line has been tried to open a new application field of FSW. The objective of this research is to get a fundamental finding on the welding between dissimilar metals with circular weld line and to clarify the effect of material character of Al alloy and tool design on the FSW between dissimilar metals. Typical results obtained in this study are summarized as follows: 1) Macroscopic defects often observed at the bottom part of the welding in case of ADC12 material. It indicates that insufficient stirring was given in the stirring zone due to the higher thermo-mechanical property of ADC12. 2) Tensile strength of the specimen welded with scroll shoulder tool was 266 MPa, while that with flat shoulder tool was 161 MPa. Tensile strength of the weld joint was improved by a factor of 1.65 by introducing the scroll onto the tool shoulder with normal thread probe. 3) High performance defect free ADC12/S45C weld structure with circular weld line could be fabricated by the tool with combination of scroll shoulder and thread probe.

To achieve a defect-free butt joint of dissimilar metals by friction stir welding procedure, there are some major parameters, such as tool material and geometry, tool rotational speed, feed rate and tilt angel. This research is focused on dissimilar metals welding, namely 1100 Al alloy and 1045 carbon steel. In this paper, the effect of tool rotation speed and feed rate are experimentally investigated on surface appearance, microstructure and micro hardness of the friction stir welded plates. Optimum values of tool rotation speed and feed rate have been achieved experimentally by the quality of the butt joint.

The Rotating Extrusion Alloying (REA) is a process which combined friction stir welding process and extrusion technology. In the REA process, dissimilar metals are mixed, cracked, and subjected to high speed, severe pressing deformation, and therefore rapidly alloy at a low temperature. The result shows that REA technology can be alloyed Al-Ti material. Its phases are mainly composed of Al and Al3Ti, which are distributed more evenly in the aluminum. After heat treatment, its phases’ types and pole figures have no significant change, but there is a trend of transition to the non-equilibrium stable phase. Small-angle grain boundaries decrease or even disappear.
