Material flow in friction stir welding / processing under different process parameters with aluminium has been studied by many scientists. All such studies have been considered and a detailed review is presented in this paper. Results indicated friction stir welding / processing with aluminium and alloys may successfully utilised, because of the significantly improved strength in the material and at the same time the ductility also retained, along with the substantiallyimproved hardness. FSP was found to be beneficial also in improving wear resistance.
