“…4. Large irregular-shaped shrinkage pores can be found in the IMC regions where eutectics and solid liquid dendrites, which may have come from Al/Cu liquation, are present [165] produced this essay in response to the burgeoning demand for connections between copper and Al in a variety of industries. On the other hand, FSW may find use in the joining of copper and Al as a solid-phase connection method.…”

The solid-state welding method known as friction stir welding (FSW) bonds two metallic work parts, whether the same or different, by plastically deforming the base metal. The frictional resistance between both metallic work pieces causes them to produce heat, which produces plastic deformation and welds them. However, the weldability and strength of FSW joints mainly depend on the FSW parameters. This review work highlights the previous research work on the FSW parameters and their effects on the weldability and quality of the aluminum alloys joined with similar and dissimilar metals through the FSW method. About 150 research studies were systematically reviewed, and the articles included data from peer-reviewed journals. It has been concluded that the key parameters, including welding speed, “rotational speed”, “plunge depth”, “spindle torque”, “shoulder design”, “base material”, “pin profile” and “tool type", significantly affect the weldability of the aluminum joint through the FSW method. Also, the selection of these parameters is important and fundamental as they directly affect the joint. It is recommended that future work focus on FSW for aluminum. Among these, the most essential is the application of artificial intelligence (AI) techniques to select the optimum FSW parameters for aluminum welding.

“…Friction stir welding does not require any auxiliary substances, fluxes, or shielding gases. Friction welding allows for a permanent joint of elements made of various similar or dissimilar materials, such as aluminium, titanium, copper and their alloys, carbon steel, tool steel, stainless steel, and nickel alloy [ 10 , 11 ]. Friction welding is widely used in the automotive industry, as well as in the aviation industry and by manufacturers of cutting tools, shafts, and pipes [ 12 , 13 ].…”

The aim of this work was to determine the effect of selected parameters of friction welding, such as friction pressure and welding speed, on the mechanical properties and microstructure of friction-welded Inconel 713C-32CrMo4 joints. Tensile strength and hardness tests were carried out to determine the mechanical properties of the resulting welded joints. The results of the ultimate tensile strength, hardness, and microstructure were linked to the parameters of the welding process. It was found that the highest tensile strength was 1222 N/mm2. There was a significant increase in the hardness value in the thermo-mechanically affected zone for all samples. However, as the friction pressure increased, the zone with the higher hardness value migrated towards the 32CrMo4 material. In all weld tests, the fracture was found on the 32CrMo4 steel side. A distinct band of carbide formation was observed between the thermo-mechanically affected zone and the Inconel 713C base material.

xIn this study, the influence of the process parameters, traverse and rotational speeds, of dissimilar friction stir welded joints of AA2024-O and AA6061-O aluminum alloys on the corrosion resistance was evaluated. Potentiodynamic tests using a 3.5% NaCl solution obtained open circuit potential curves and polarization curves showing the corrosion behavior for the different welding parameters. These data were correlated with those obtained by mechanical tests (microhardness, tensile, and fracture analysis) and microstructure analysis by optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. It was observed that the combined effect of the parameters influenced the variation of corrosion resistance. This was mainly evidenced by the improvement in corrosion resistance at 1200rpm − 65mm · min−1 which was related to the recrystallization of the grain size and the heat input presented. Corrosive attacks on the welded joints showed greater affectations in the presence of base material 1 (AA6061-O) with greater metallic dissolution. The attacks mentioned above were presented in different forms, such as pitting, localized, and selective, and were observed by scanning electron microscopy. Finally, in corrosive and mechanical terms, the best performing condition was 1200rpm − 65mm · min−1 compared to the low parameter 840rpm − 45mm · min−1 .
