Abstract
In this study, Al-2Si alloys were joined using friction stir welding with various process parameters. The process parameters considered here were rotational speeds from 600 to 1200 rpm, feed rate from 50 to 150 mm/min with three equal increments. In this study, the mushy state metal movements during the processes are discussed. The experimental observation and results indicate that the flaw formations, surface roughness of the weld, and hardness value depend on the metal movement and are explained in this study. The microstructure of the weld zone was studied finally.
