Review on friction welding of similar/dissimilar metals

Abstract

The most commonly used technique for welding metals is fusion welding. But, these days friction welding procedures are used widely since welding of metals are made much easier. And, those welds impossible to weld by fusion welding can be produced by the process of friction welding. The industries related to automobile, submarine engineering, aerospace and heavy duty vehicle manufacturers are in huge demand for new applications and in need for new material combinations. In the present study, various research work done in the friction welding field is reviewed.
