Characterization and Corrosion Study of Friction Stir Welded Titanium Alloy-A Review
Abstract: Friction stir welding is a solid-state welding process used since 1990s. It was originally adopted for welding of Aluminium & for other materials like copper, steel, magnesium, titanium etc. Titanium has its wide range of applications due to its high strength to weight ratio along with good corrosion resistance and low thermal conductivity. This review is based on the friction stir welded joints of Titanium alloys and its characterization in the form of microstructure, macrostructure, non-destructive testing, hardness, corrosion testing etc. Microstructural changes can be easily evident by changes in parameters & changes in hardness profile of the weld and base metal. Problems associated with friction stir-welded joints will be understood to improve the properties of weld. It will result in significant technical and economic advantages because of its applications in critical aerospace industries.
