Synopsis

The current paper critically discusses the mechanism, process description and equipment requirements during friction crush welding. The interdependence of microstructure and mechanical properties is dealt in detail. Some of the case studies are drawn from real-time applications of FCW. Emphasis is given to understand and analyze the microstructure at different zones during FCW. Mention has also been made of appropriate criteria to optimize the process parameters.
