1. What are the contributions in this paper?
Starting with a brief introduction, this review presents a detailed description of the thermo-mechanical and microstructural transformations, as well as, process modelling approaches.

2. Why is the heat dissipation of a material restricted to solid state?
Because the heat generated by friction dissipation tends to zero as the material gets near the fusion temperature the maximum temperature achieved within processed zone is physically limited by the fusion temperature and thus all the deformation is restricted to solid state condition.

3. What was the effect of increasing the force on the coating thickness?
Experimental data revealed that by increasing force, an increase in bond strength could be expected, while reducing coating thickness and the undercut.

4. What is the process used to shape the deposit?
Post-processing based on material removal is then used to shape the deposit into the desirable geometry, depending on part specifications.
