Abstract: This paper studies the friction stir welding technology, with a review on its theoretical and application background. Some quantitative methods in the experiments are used., The friction stir welding is also used for the welding of a variety of light metal alloys and non-metallic materials. The welding materials, the structure of weld joints, the mechanical properties of friction stir welds, the welding procedures and the welding tools are discussed.
