Summary:Due to their properties (low density, high corrosion resistance, easy to process), magnesium alloys are used in all important industrial fields (aeronautics, automotive, transport, etc.). Magnesium is the lightest metal for complex metal structures with a density 2-3 times lower than that of aluminum and a quarter than that of steel. The possibility of joining magnesium with other materials allows a greater flexibility in designing and increasing the number of applications for light alloys.This paper presents results obtained by ISIM Timisoara for FSW welding of magnesium alloy AZ31B. Considering the difficulties that arise when welding magnesium alloys using classical processes, it can be assumed that by applying the FSW process for joining these types of materials, the results obtained are very good and can substantiate industrial applications.
