Abstract
Friction Stir Welding (FSW) is a solid-state welding technique that differs from the fusion welding methods as the melting of the materials to be joined does not take place. Moreover the absence of harmful fumes or toxic gases during FSW makes it an environmentally friendly process. The FSW process can produce high-quality welds and uses considerably less energy than any other arc welding process. Recent advancements have made it possible to use FSW to join polymers, and the resulting welds have demonstrated good mechanical properties. Moreover, FSW poses no health risks to welders, while prolonged exposure to an arc welding environment can be harmful to their health. In summary, this review article discusses the capabilities and quality of the FSW process, highlighting its advantages over traditional arc welding methods.
