“…Some studies have investigated the welding between dissimilar thermoplastic materials. They include FSW of PE-PP [68], ABS-PC (non-submerged) [69], ABS-PC (submerged) [70], and HMWPE-PP [71,72]. Other similar studies include FSW of recycled HDPE-10Fe and LDPE-10Fe [73], FSW of HDPE through reinforcement of PP strips [74], and FSSW of PMMA-ABS [75].…”

Friction stir welding (FSW) and friction stir spot welding (FSSW) techniques are becoming widely popular joining techniques because of their increasing potential applications in automotive, aerospace, and other structural industries. These techniques have not only successfully joined similar and dissimilar metal and polymer parts but have also successfully developed polymer-metallic hybrid joints. This study classifies the literature available on the FSW and FSSW of thermoplastic polymers and polymer composites on the basis of joining materials (similar or dissimilar), joint configurations, tooling conditions, medium conditions, and study types. It provides a state-of-the-art and detailed review of the experimental studies available on the FSW and FSSW between similar thermoplastics. The mechanical properties of FSW (butt- and lap-joint configurations) and FSSW weld joints depend on various factors. These factors include the welding process parameters (tool rotational speed, tool traverse speed, tool tilt angle, etc.), base material, tool geometry (pin and shoulder size, pin profile, etc.) and tool material, and medium conditions (submerged, non-submerged, heat-assisted tooling, cooling-assisted tooling). Because of the dependence on many factors, it is difficult to optimize the welding conditions to obtain a high-quality weld joint with superior mechanical properties. The general guidelines are established by reviewing the available literature. These guidelines, if followed, will help to achieve high-quality weld joints with least defects and superior mechanical properties. Apart from parametric-based studies, the statistical-based studies (e.g., analysis of variance (ANOVA)-based studies) are covered, which helps with the determination of the influential parameters that affect the FSW and FSSW weld joint strength. Also, the optimal ranges of the most influential process parameters for different thermoplastic materials are established. The current work on the development of general guidelines and determination of influential parameters and their operating ranges from published literature can help with designing smart future experimental studies for obtaining the global optimum welding conditions. The gaps in the available literature and recommendations for future studies are also discussed.

“…The mechanism of material flow in dissimilar polymeric joints are different and attaining sound joints is still a challenging issue. Kumar and Roy [27] employed a double-step shoulder tool with a right-angle threated pin profile to join Arilonitrile Butadiene Styrene ABS (set at retreating side) to polycarbonate PC (set at advancing side). Figure 7b shows the formation of a sound and defect-free weld line in ABS/PC joints.…”

“…This is particularly important when characteristic temperatures of the polymer (such as glass transition, softening/melting points) are reached. The generated heat should not be too high to cause excessive melting of the polymers expelling the softened materials in the outward direction from the weld line [27], leading to the formation of root defect. This is also straightly related to the LFSW pin length, as reported in [28].…”

Friction Stir Welding and Friction Spot Stir Welding Processes of Polymers—State of the Art

In the last decade, the friction stir welding of polymers has been increasingly investigated by the means of more and more sophisticated approaches. Since the early studies, which were aimed at proving the feasibility of the process for polymers and identifying suitable processing windows, great improvements have been achieved. This owes to the increasing care of academic researchers and industrial demands. These improvements have their roots in the promising results from pioneer studies; however, they are also the fruits of the adoption of more comprehensive approaches and the multidisciplinary analyses of results. The introduction of instrumented machines has enabled the online measurement of processing loads and temperature, and critical understanding of the principal aspects affecting the material flow and welds quality. Such improvements are also clearly demonstrated by the increase of the strength of recent joints (up to 99% of joining efficiency) as compared to those reached in early researches (almost 47%). This article provides a comprehensive review of the recent progresses on the process fundamentals, quality assessment and the influence of process parameters on the mechanical behavior. In addition, emphasis is given to new developments and future perspectives.
