Abstract

In this investigation, an attempt has been made to analyze the Tensile strength of similar joints Friction Stir Welded AA 6082 alloy plates under different tool pin geometries. The tool pin geometries used in this investigation were triangular, circular and hexagonal. It was observed that for triangular, hexagonal and circular tool pin profile, maximum tensile strength was 83 MPa, 82.1 MPa and 78.2 MPa at tool rotational speed of 1200 rpm.
