Friction stir welding is a solid-phase welding process based on the mixing of the pasty material in the stirred zone. The main advantage of this technique is the ability to weld metal alloys which are generally difficult to weld by conventional welding processes. In this paper an analytical model is proposed for the description in 2D the distribution of the material (fluid) flow in the vicinity of the tool pin during friction stir welding process "FSW". For this reason, the analytical solutions are built on the basis of traditional problem of mechanics of the fluids which is used to solve the equation associated with this problem. Furthermore, the aim is to make an analytical study of these aspects for a better understanding of this phenomenon. This method provides a reduction in computational time compared to those required for finite or differential elements methods. Moreover, it highlights on the effects of the different parameters on the material flow during welding.

The welding of aluminium and its alloys was a great challenge for researchers and technologists till 1991. Friction stir welding (FSW), a relatively new solid state joining process was first patented in 1991 by Thomas et. al. from ‘The welding Institute (TWI), England. Later its application found in various industries like aerospace, marine, automobile, etc. due to its high quality joints. The technique is energy efficient, ecofriendly and versatile too. In this review article, the modeling and analysis of friction stir welding and underwater friction stir welding (UFSW) of aluminium alloy are addressed. Commonly used method for modeling and analysis of welded joints such as Taguchi method and Response surface method (RSM) are considered for the review. Finally an attempt has been made to compare UFSW welded joints with FSW welded joints.

Friction stir welding is a patented joining process invented in 1991 at The Welding Institute in Cambridge, UK, and further developed to the stage suitable for production. In this process, a wear resistant rotating tool is used to join sheet and plate with different materials such as aluminum, copper, lead, magnesium, zinc, and titanium. This work studies the thermal characteristics of this process and provides a modeling technique based on Neural Network that can be used for real-time control. A thermal feed-back control method is presented to control the process. Using some thermal modeling for the heat distribution during friction stir welding process, this paper displays the complexity of obtaining an accurate design for the thermal feed back control. A three-dimensional transient heat transfer model is developed here for a sequential joining process (Friction Stir Welding-FSW) applied on aluminum parts. A neural network is created based on a set of experiments to predict the spatial and temporal variations in the temperature over the weld seam for different set of input variables. The model includes the dynamic and friction behavior of the rotating spindle and the thermal behaviors of the weld components involved. The significance of this modeling approach is that it captures the movement of the spindle, simulating a sequential joining process along a continuous weld seam. The modeling results are compared with experimental data obtained by thermocouples and infrared camera, and accurately predict the trend of variations in weld temperature. A fuzzy-logic based controller is proposed to regulate the FSW process parameters to maintain the weld temperature within the margin required to ensure the weld quality. This modeling and control system can have applications in manufacturing aluminum parts in automotive and aerospace industry.
