Abstract

Aluminium alloys which exhibits very attractive mechanical, physical and chemical properties have intensive demand in various areas especially marine structure. In order to join aluminium alloys various welding methods are employed but the recent innovative and environmental friendly techniques is friction stir welding. In this study thin aluminium alloy plates of Al 6061 has been joined using friction stir welding. The factors which influencing the welding parameter are spindle speed and transverse feed which are varied to 700, 800, 900 rpm and 18, 29, 45 mm/min. The 6mm thick plates are joined. The weldment is achieved using a cylindrical tool of pin diameter 6mm. The effect of welding parameters chosen are evaluated using tensile testing to know the properties and ductility of a weldment.
