Abstract

Because friction stir spot welding (FSSW) got more and more attention from researchers worldwide, this paper summarized on FSSW based on the open literatures. The process, microstructural characteristics, mechanical properties and numerical simulations of FSSW were reviewed in detail. And then, the applications of FSSW in aerospace, aviation and automobile fields were summed up. Finally, the current problems and issues in FSSW were discussed.
