Publisher's Synopsis
Friction Stir Welding (FSW) is a new technology dealing with solid state welding process which produces welds due to the compressive force contact of work pieces which are either rotating or moving relative to each other. The heat required to join different specimens is generated by heating due to friction at the interface. The main objective of this book is to develop the understanding of the readers about the process of Friction Stir Welding from scratch. The author has tried to explain the topics in an easy and detailed manner. The readers will learn about the history and development in addition to the applications of Friction Stir Welding in the day to day life.
