Friction stir welding is a technique which is used for joining aluminum and its alloy which are difficult to weld by traditional welding processes. In this paper we are going to produce friction stir welding of aluminum alloy 2024 in L –joint configuration as less amount of work has been carried out in this area. L-joint with three different tool geometries in two different joint configurations as L-Lap and L-Butt will be produced. The effect of process parameters and the pin geometries like tool rotation, traverse speed, tool tilt angle, shoulder diameter, pin length and pin diameter on the weld quality will be studied. Also, the temperature at the different locations of the weld is being measured with k –type thermocouple. The changes in mechanical properties of the weld will be studied with metallographic testing.
