Abstract
Friction Stir Welding (FSW) has emerged as a promising solid-state joining technique for dissimilar aluminium alloys. This study investigates the influence of the tool pin on the mechanical properties of friction stir welded dissimilar aluminium alloys AA6082 and AA5052. The welding process was systematically conducted with varying tool pin designs to evaluate their effects on mechanical properties. The welding speed of 1200 rpm, feed of 60mm min were used for the welding. Tensile strength, and hardness analyses were employed to assess the weld quality. The results demonstrate that the selection of the tool pin significantly affects the mechanical characteristics of the weld joint. This study offers insightful information on choosing tool pins to produce high-performance connections between dissimilar aluminium alloys in a variety of industrial applications.
