N2 - An investigation has been carried out on the friction stir welding of magnesium alloy, AM60. Casting samples have each been welded and their mechanical properties were presented. The microstructure and defect formation were conducted by optical and scanning electron microscopes. More attention was paid to failure mode of welded pieces near joined area or so-called thermo-mechanical affected zone under tension and voids formed during friction stir welding. In addition, the effect of FSW processing parameters and casting thickness on the mechanical properties will be presented. At the end, a cost analysis using friction stir welding for magnesium application on the Ford GT vehicles will be presented.
