Abstract: Integrative design and integrated manufacturing of major equipment’s’ large critical structure such as aeronautics, astronautics and weapons provide guarantees of lightweight manufacturing and service performance. As a transformative technology can achieve innovative structure, additive manufacturing has received extensive attention and being applied, nevertheless, additive manufacturing of lightweight and high-strength metals such as high strength aluminium alloy and magnesium alloy faces many challenges. Additive friction stir deposition provides a new thought and method for such kind metals, since its process involves strong plasticity and non-melting, which further facilitates the progress of solid-state additive manufacturing and equipment. Dominant advantages of additive friction stir deposition have aroused worldwide attention and investigation; However, this technology’s basic theory and deposited materials’ microstructure evolution and performance need to be clarified. Research progress in additive friction stir deposition was systematically summarized, domestic and foreign research achievements such as heat production mechanism, material flow behavior, design of printing tool, processing parameters, microstructure evolution and performance of additive friction stir deposition were comprehensively reviewed. Finally, future opportunities and development trends of additive friction stir deposition were pointed out.

Key words: additive friction stir deposition, foundational, high performance material, microstructure and performance
