| Abstract | FrictionStirWelding(FSW) is gaining acceptance as an established joining process of aluminium alloys in different configurations such as continuous butt or lapjoint sand discontinuous FS-spot welds as an alternative solution to resistives pot welding. Applications of this joining process can be found for parts production in the aerospace, automotive and marine sectors. However, inspite of its great potential to favourably replace conventional welding processes and also its capacity to join materials which cannot be welded by fusion welding, wide use of FSW of aluminium is still limited. Main limiting factors for larges cale FSW are: welding equipment capital cost, fixture design and cost, re-design of joints to be FS-welded and lack of standards for FS-welds quality control. |
