TL;DR: In this paper, the use of taguchi experimental design technique for maximizing tensile strength of friction stir welded cast aluminium alloy A319 has been discussed using ANOVA and signal to noise ratio of robust design.

TL;DR: In this article, an attempt has been made to study the effect of FSW process parameters on the tensile strength of A319 alloy welded joints, which were made using different combinations of tool rotation speed, welding speed, and axial force, each at four levels.

TL;DR: In this paper, empirical relationships are established and they can be effectively used to predict the optimum FSW process parameters to fabricate defect free joints with high tensile strength from the known base metal properties of cast aluminium alloys.

TL;DR: A356 is a high strength Aluminium-Silicon cast alloy used in food, chemical, marine, electrical and automotive industries as mentioned in this paper, and the experiments were conducted based on three factors, three-level, and central composite face centered design with full replications technique.

TL;DR: Fusion welding of A319 aluminium cast alloys will lead to many problems such as porosity, micro-fissuring and hot cracking, however, Friction Stir Welding (FSW) can be used to weld theseCast alloys without the above-mentioned defects.
