Friction welding of similar and dissimilar materials: A review

Abstract In recent decades, the requirements for higher eco-friendliness in the car segment have persuaded the expanded utilization of design in lightweight mixes of multi-material. It has unavoidably prompted difficulties in joining base materials (for example, low, medium, and ultrahigh quality) where magnesium combinations, steels, and aluminium compounds are joined. Simultaneously, every one of these materials recommends fluctuating execution and superior properties for different segments in various areas of novel design. Accordingly, these base material blends will unavoidably be welded, which presents significant difficulties because of their contradiction during friction welding techniques utilized in vehicle fabricate. This paper discussed current advancement in friction welding procedures for joining the various parent materials and explains welding parameters controlling the joint quality. Be that as it may, financially savvy and dependable joints of lightweight amalgams (for example, aluminium) and steel will need significant advancement and contemplation. The reason for the current survey paper is to evaluate the status of friction welding of different base materials of vehicle manufacturing alloys, with explicit thoughtfulness regarding the future development, vehicle manufacturing sector, impediments, and difficulties.
