Friction stir welding (FSW) of polymers is relatively a new concept among modern polymer joining techniques. This study demonstrates the applicability of FSW on 16mm thick nylon-6 plates at constant welding rate of 25mm/min and varying rotational speed between 300 to 1000RPM. A special designed tool was fabricated which has double shoulder and right-hand threaded pin profile. It has shown excellent results at relatively lower rotation speeds. Visual inspection and microstructural examination of cross sections showed that the cavities and tunnel defects appeared only at higher rotational speeds. A linear relationship was observed between temperature and rotation speed.
