Friction Stir.Welding is an advance metal joining process: A ReviewIJERA Editor
The friction stir welding is recently developed solid state welding process which overcome the problem
associated with fusion welding technology. The properties achieved by friction stir welding is better than that
achieve by fusion welding technique It has been invented as a solid-state joining technique and initially applied
to aluminum alloys. FSW is used to replace rivets joints in the aeronautical industry. Recently the aircraft and
military industries widely have been using aluminum alloys particularly because of their fine strength to weight
ratio. However in compare with steels they represent welding difficulties and also lower ductility. In last years it
has been observed that Friction Stir Welding (FSW) method represents better microstructure and mechanical
properties than conventional methods in welding aluminum alloys. It has been widely investigated for mostly
low melting materials, such as Al, Mg and Cu alloys. Aluminum is the most usable material in engineering
application and a lot of improvement is needed in the area of its welding. The latest works on friction stir
welding of aluminum have been directed towards improving the quality of weld, reducing defects and applying
the process of FSW to aluminum for specific applications. This joining technique is energy efficient,
environment friendly, and versatile. In particular, it can be used to join high-strength aerospace aluminum alloys
and other metallic alloys that are hard to weld by conventional fusion welding. FSW is considered to be the
most significant development in metal joining in a last decade. The FSW of Aluminums and its alloys has been
commercialized; and recent interest is focused on joining dissimilar materials. However, in order to
commercialize the process, research studies are required to characterize and establish proper process parameters
for FSW. This paper summarizes the trends and advances of this welding processes in the field of welding.
Future aspects of the study are also discussed.

This master's thesis analyzes a new 3rd generation dual phase steel called DP600HD and compares it to other commonly used automotive grades. DP600HD has higher strength and formability than the standard DP600 steel due to improved work hardening capability. Finite element simulations show that two body panels can be formed with DP600HD using less thickness than DP600, resulting in weight reduction while meeting dimensional requirements. The study demonstrates the potential to substitute DP600HD for other grades in automotive body applications. More broadly, the analysis method can be applied to evaluate new advanced high strength steel materials.

To be honest, I think this is a question that OEM’s are the best to answer.
However, based on the joining R&D work we do with industrial partners,
clearly friction stir spot welding is gaining interest these days including
every process variants (single spot, pattern-spot, refill or swing) as a
replacement technique to mechanical fastening or adhesive bonding
in Al to Al joining or dissimilar material joining such as Al to press-
hardened steels (Usibor), Al to Mg & Al to composite. These solutions
have to be cost-effective so the effort needs to be put at increasing tool
life & durability, even in Al to Al joining. Also, reduction of robot payload
to allow stitch welding could be the key to increase the versatility of the
robotized cell.
When dealing with friction stir welding in a robotized environment, the
loads are generally very high mostly when you increase the material
thickness in extrusions and could limit the applicability of the process
or the productivity (travel speed). Combining an external heat source to
the friction stir welding process lowers mostly the lateral & vertical loads
which could allow up to 50% reduction & increase travel speed by 30%
even using a low density heat source without compromising much the
mechanical properties. In Al/Steel joining, the use of an external heat
source leads to a better material flow at the Al/Steel interface that allows
good joining at higher travel speeds (1.75m/min achieved so far) again
using a low density heat source.

series or modified 6xxx) to be used in structural applications, mostly
by hot stampings. By this process, the final mechanical tensile strength
(over 400MPa) or formability are high enough to compete with steel
solutions. Tailor blanks could also be applied in order to light weight.
It was my first time at this summit last year & I was greatly impressed
with the quality & competency of the speakers and how easy it
was to chat with them afterwards. I’m still looking forward for that
particular opportunity to meet the best in the business and keep
on tracks with what we are doing. Technically speaking, I will listen
carefully to Mrs. Forsmak & Mr. Maddela during the event.
