Abstract
Aluminum alloys are used in many applications in which the advantages of high strength and low weight have a significant impact, industries such as; ship building, aviation, and transportation industry [1]. Friction stir welding (FSW) is a new non-flammable welding technique particularly well suited to aluminum alloys, though this technique is also used for other materials. Friction stir welding promises joints with low defects, fine microstructures, minimum phase transformation and low oxidation compared to conventional welding techniques [2]. Experiments for tensile and deflection tests were carried out and reported in this research paper. The base material used for friction stir welding was the similar AA 50833 Aluminum alloy. The material hardness has been tested to confirm the theory that the hardness increased with increase as the rotational speed of the tool increases, but decreases after attaining marginal speed. Deflections of friction stir welded specimens and base materials were compared and they exhibited almost similar trends at different spots in the welding nugget, heat affect zone and thermal material affected zone of all the specimens [3–5].
