View in WORD format

Summary: High Speed Friction Stir Welding was carried out on Al 6061-T6 and weld parameters (rotational speed, welding speed and the tool shoulder diameter) are studied. The experiment runs were carried out using State-Ease software and also the results are correlated with the tensile properties and hardness of the weld. Also the microstructure of the joint was analyzed.
