AbstractFriction Stir Welding (FSW) was carried out on Aluminum Alloy 6082-T6 plates with dimensions of 200 × 70 × 2 mm. Design of Experiment (DOE) was applied to determine the most important factors which influence the Ultimate Tensile Strength (UTS) and Hardness (HV) of AA 6082-T6 joints produced by Friction Stir Welding (FSW). Effect of two factors which include tool rotational speed and welding speed on (UTS, HV) were investigated by Taguchi method using L9 orthogonal array to find the optimum process parameters. An analysis of variance (ANOVA) was carried out to determine which of the selected factors are more significant on both of responses, the optimum parameters for the higher UTS it found by using a rotational speed of 1400 rpm and 125 mm/min for the welding speed, also 1400 rpm and 160 mm/min to maximize Hardness (HV).

Friction Stir Welding is one of the technologies of joining solid states, which still attracts the researchers’ interest.  In welded joints the mechanical properties are affected by a number of mechanical properties of the joined materials and by the process parameters as well. In the present study, the effect of a number of friction stir welding parameters on the tensile strength of the welded joint have been investigated using the Taguchi method and the analysis of variance (ANOVA). The study considers different levels of friction stir welding variables; namely, different rotational speeds of (2000, 1600, 1250 rpm), different welding speeds (12.5, 16, 20 mm / min), and different welding tilt angles (0, 1, 2 degrees).  The optimum process parameters and their contribution rate were selected based on the Taguchi method for test design and by using the Minitab 16 program. In this study, the best results (i.e, higher tensile strength) were obtained at a rotational velocity of 1600 rpm, linear velocity of 16 mm / min, and welding angle, 1o. The highest tensile strength was obtained under these conditions.
