Abstract

Dissimilar aluminum alloys AA6061 and AA7075 were welded by friction stir welding process with the tool traverse feed of 31.5 mm/s, tool rotational speed of 765 rpm, and tool tilt angle of 2° forward. This experiment was done with the help of cylindrical tool pin profile, and its effect on macrostructure, microstructure, and tensile property of welded specimen was observed. Further, temperature measurement at six different positions (three on advancing and three on retreating side) was carried out with the help of K-type thermocouple and temperature profile was obtained. The results of defect-free stir zone were obtained and tensile values.
