| Abstract | ||
| Friction stir welding (FSW) is a solid-state joining process that uses a non-consumable tool to join two facing workpieces without melting the workpiece material.Heat is generated by friction between the rotating tool and the workpiece material, which leads to a softened region near the FSW tool. Friction Stir Welding (FSW) has emerged as an innovative joining method, especially suitable for the marine industry, addressing the specific demands of maritime environments. This paper reviews the recent developments in FSW design and applications, focusing on the marine sector. It elaborates on the principles of FSW, highlighting its advantages over traditional welding methods, particularly in shipbuilding and offshore construction. Key aspects such as strength of joint, and performance of fatigue are emphasized. The study also explores optimization strategies and methodologies, offering future research directions and discussing challenges in the maritime use of FSW. Environmental and economic considerations are highlighted as critical for large-scale industrial applications. | ||
