    A literature survey on electrical-current-assisted friction stir welding
    (MDPI, 2023-01-25) Sajed, Moosa; Grimaldo Guerrero, John; Derazkola, Hamed Aghajani
    Electrical-current-assisted friction stir welding (EA-FSW) is a procedure developed for the joining of similar and dissimilar materials. EA-FSW is a newly invented solid-state process to increase welded components’ efficacy in various applications, such as marine structures. EA-FSW joints have investigated the dissimilar joints on aluminum–magnesium, aluminum–steel, and polymer-to-steel. Similar joints have been performed on aluminum, magnesium, and steel. The main parameters that affect the temperature of the nugget in EA-FSW are electrical current and tool rotational velocity. This review paper presents the fundamental principle of EA-FSW, its processes mechanism, and various types of tools, and discusses the different joints that EA-FSW welded. The effect of electrical current on the quality of similar and dissimilar joints is discussed. The simulation process and detailed modeling of the EA-FSW process are discussed in the last section.
