Abstract

Friction stir welding (FSW) is an innovative welding process commonly known as a solid state welding process. The aim of the present work, to study the effect of welding parameters through; tool rotation speed, welding speed and depth of cut on the micro-structure and mechanical properties of FSW butt joints of dissimilar aluminium alloy. The results showed that joint between 6061 and 6082 plates were successfully obtained. The average size of Aluminium grains increase with increasing the tool rotational speed or decreasing the weld speed. The hardness of welded region was higher than the hardness range of work specimen. The average hardness of weld region increase with increasing the welding speed and reducing the tool rotational speed, the tensile test result show that the welded joints have better tensile properties than base alloy.
