Abstract

Friction stir welding is a novel process used to join metallic alloys, moreover very vogue in automotive industry
and aerospace for connecting alloys like aluminum and copper. The process is also an effective method for joining dissimilar
materials. However, the process has still not found an economical way for welding of aluminium alloys and hence found
limited applications in industries for welding aluminium alloys. This paper focusing on providing a complete review of the
work undertaken in the field of friction stir welding of aluminium alloys moreover pays critical attention and evaluation of
classification of aluminium alloys and friction stir welding process parameters.
