Abstract

In the age of machines, the whole industry needs light-weight and high strength for lighter devices, machines, etc. The core aerospace industry needs lighter materials for satellites and rockets. Friction Stir Additive Technology (FSAT)represents an innovative approach aimed at leveraging the principles of layered build (AM) layer by layer using solid state (FSW) friction stir welding technology. These represent a particular class of friction-based additive technology (FAT) and can easily be regarded as a significant breakthrough in the field of metal additive manufacturing (MAM). Due to the capabilities of the MAM technology used to create complex parts, they have come to be seen as a favourable option for the aerospace,automotive, and marine industries. Conversely, melt-based MAM technology has many limitations, primarily due to work hardening and insufficient shear strength issues.
