Amongst the emerging new welding technologies, Friction Stir Welding (FSW), invented and established by The Welding Institute (TWI) in 1991, is used frequently for welding of high strength aluminium alloys such as AA6061, AA6082, etc. which are difficult to weld by conventional fusion welding techniques. Friction welding (FW) is a collection of a series of friction-based solid-state joining processes which can produce high quality welds of different components with either similar or dissimilar materials and has been attracting increasing attention. The aim of this work is to weld two plates of AA6061 using circular tool profiles and to optimize the parameters like tool rotational speed, tool profile, depth of cut, feed etc. affecting the properties of welded joints. In this work, the hardness test is conducted at different welded locations for all specimens. The result showed that hardness of the weld is increased with the addition of silicon carbide.
