Abstract

Friction Stir Process complex process that involves many numbers of input process parameters to be controlled to get the best quality welds joints. Selecting the appropriate and optimal combination of input process parameters is the key to the success in the process. However, it is very difficult to identify and set the right combination manually by the process engineer either by using trial and error method or from the past references. Hence there is a need to develop a methodology that helps the manufacturing engineer or process engineer for proper setting of the input process parameter. This research mainly was carried out to develop the method which helps to run the process in an efficient manner and also the process can be automated help full for the Aerospace and Defense applications.
