Effect of tool pin profile on microstructure and tensile properties of friction stir welded dissimilar AA 6061–AA 5086 aluminium alloy joints

Joints between two different grades of aluminium alloys are need of the hour in many light weight military structures. In this investigation, an attempt has been made to join the heat treatable (AA 6061) and non-heat treatable (AA 5086) aluminium alloys by friction stir welding (FSW) process using t...
