Friction Stir Welding Process is a solid state joining technique which is used to joint similar and dissimilar metals. FSW is widely used for aerospace, marine, automotive and other applications. Compared to other conventional welding techniques friction stir welding (FSW) produces better weld zone with improved mechanical properties. The main objective of this article is to find the optimum parameters for joining of aluminum alloy 6063 plates in simple butt joint. The major factors taken for investigations are rotational speed, transverse speed and tilt angle of tool. The aim of this work is to determine the feasibility to weld two aluminum plates using FSW and to study the effect of process parameters on the mechanical properties of welding joints. Friction stir welding machine has been used for welding. The Mechanical properties of welded joints were investigated using different mechanical tests including tensile testing, percentage of elongation and hardness test. Sample with a maximum welding efficiency in terms of ultimate tensile strength was fabricated using 1400 (RPM) rotational speed, 55 (mm/min) transverse speed
