The welding of heat treatable Aluminium alloys has always introduced a difficulty since heat given by welding process tends to mechanical properties of the welded material. Current research work is done to evaluate tensile strength, hardness and microstructure of friction stir welded 6063 T6 aluminium alloy at different process parameters like tool feed, frequency etc. Friction stir welding is done of 6mm thick al 6063 plates that were 100mm long and 50 mm wide. Various readings are taken at different rotational speeds and tool penetration. Percent elongation and % reduction in area are calculated in tensile test. Tensile strength for different tested specimen ranged between 0.065 to 0.125 KN/mm2. After cross checking the results of friction stir welding as compared to other conventional types of welding it can be said that friction stir welding is the basic need of manufacturing industry to meet the ever increasing demands of compatibility and need of higher tensile strength limit.
