“…Among these technologies, friction stir welding is a sustainable and green solution in terms of energy consumption and environmental impact [15][16][17][18][19]. Moreover, it is characterized by a limited set of process parameters: tool rotational speed, welding speed, axial force, and tool tilt angle, which are the main parameters that are involved in production of high-strength joints [20,21] (see Figure 1).…”

Friction Stir Welding is a suitable solid-state joining technology to connect dissimilar materials. To produce an effective joint, a phase of optimization is required which leads to the definition of process parameters such as pin geometry, tool rotational speed, rotation direction, welding speed, thickness of the sheets or tool tilt angle. The aim of this review is to present a complete and detailed frame of the main process parameters and their effect on the final performance of a friction stir welded joint in terms of mechanical properties and microstructure. Attention was focused in particular on the connection between different aluminum alloys. Moreover, the experimental results were correlated to the development and the applications of tools which can be effectively used in the design of the manufacturing process such as finite element analyses, artificial neural networks, and statistical studies. The review also aims to be a point of reference to identify the best combinations of process parameters based on the dissimilar aluminum to be joined.

A good solid-state joining technique for combining different materials is stir welding. A phase of optimization is necessary to define process parameters like pin geometry, tool tilt angle, welding speed, sheet thickness, and tool rotational speed and direction in order to produce an effective joint. The objective of this review is to provide a comprehensive and in-depth overview of the primary process parameters and their impact on the mechanical properties and microstructure of the friction stir welded joint at the end. Particular emphasis was placed on the relationship between various aluminum alloys. Additionally, there was a correlation found between the experimental results and the creation and utilization of tools like statistical studies, artificial neural networks, and finite element analyses that are useful for designing manufacturing processes. In addition, the review seeks to serve as a guide for determining the optimal ratios of process variables in relation to the different types of aluminum that need to be combined.

“…Schematic views of possible material flow errors are shown in Figure 3. For a welded connection, it is extremely important that the tool rotates at the appropriate speed, the rotating tool advances along the welding line at the appropriate speed, and the shoulder of the rotating tool contacts the welded parts to generate heat [37]. To illustrate, due to appropriate optimized welding parameters, a clockwise rotating left-hand threaded pin tool produces good welded joints and mechanical properties due to downward material flow near the pin surface.…”

Friction stir welding has become more popular compared to traditional welding methods because it allows for the joining of different types of materials in solid form without the need for additional material. With well-optimized welding parameters, it becomes easy and economical to create joints with an excellent microstructure and superior mechanical properties. Welding parameters depend on factors such as the geometry of the pin tool, rotation direction, rotation speed, feed rate, and vertical application force.In this study, the effect of pin rotation direction on weld quality was investigated based on previous research. The rotation direction and tool geometry of the mixing tool are of primary importance in achieving homogeneous mixing of well-plasticized materials and consistent material flow. In welds created using this method, it is expected that the material will mix homogeneously in the junction area and fill the entire region equally. It was concluded that the direction of the stirring tool rotation is one of the key parameters that significantly influences the formation of weld microstructure and mechanical properties.
