Abstract Friction stir welding (FSW) is limited to use in metals having high melting point due to the inadequate tool life. Tool life is decreasing due to the high wear rate. Welding high melting point metals reduces the tool life. The alternative changing of tool may cost too high. The best way to increase the tool life for friction stir welding of high melting point alloy is to preheat the metal. Preheating reduces the tool wear rate and increases the tool life. One of the best methods to heat ferromagnetic metal is using induction heating process. This chapter aims to review on induction-assisted FSW process. To study the effect of additional heating on FSW in hard metals and to determine its influence on the strength of joining.
