Abstract
Aluminum is experiencing a resurgence in use in the marine environment. The natural attributes of the metal, i.e. its lightweight, high strength and corrosion resistance, together with the newer class of fast ferries and the growth of the cruising industry have sparked this interest. The advent of friction stir welding is likely to further accelerate this growth
