Abstract

Friction stir welding (FSW) is a relatively new solid-state joining process primarily for aluminum alloys. FSW process can also be applied to the welding of a variety of other materials, including magnesium alloys, titanium alloys, stainless steels and metal matrix composites. While considerable experimental work has been done in FSW, there is little published information about FSW apparatus for steels. The development of new FSW apparatus for steels needs to proceed with caution and attention to detail and the reduced cost and time.
The objectives of this study are to develop a FSW apparatus for steels and to discuss some initial results on FSW of mild steel.
