Abstract: Friction stir welding is a solid state joining process which has proven to be a promising approach for joining of soft materials like zinc, aluminium copper, magnesium etc . In this paper, investigation has done on the friction stir welding of aluminium alloys (AA6061). It provides detailed view of tool material selection, tool geometry and also parameters like rotational speed, transverse speed and also these factors plays a major role to obtain good quality welds. It carries out a critical review of above mentioned details for friction stir welding and it is helpful for upcoming researchers to optimize the parameters.
Keywords: Friction Stir Welding (FSW), Aluminium Alloy, Tool Material, Tool Geometry, Process Parameters.
