Friction Stir Welding (FSW) is a compact national Welding procedure used for Welding like and unlike materials. The procedure is widely used because it produces wide-ranging joins and does not have common problems such as solidification and liquefact cracking associated with the fusion Welding techniques. The FSW of ALUMINIUM and its compounds has been commercialized; and new interest is concentrated on linking unlike materials. However, In order to commercialize the process, investigation educations are required to characterize and establish procedure windows. In particular, FSW has inspired investigators to attempt linking unlike materials such as ALUMINIUM to COPPER which differ In things and wide-ranging joins with none or limited intermetallic mixtures has been produced. In This paper, we review the present investigation national of FSW among ALUMINIUM and COPPER with a focus on the resultant combined microstructure, machine-driven challenging and the utensils hired to harvest the joins and also an insight into upcoming investigation in this field of study.
