This study explores the application of friction stir welding (FSW) on titanium alloy Ti–6Al–4V. Initially developed in the 1990s for aluminum joining, FSW has gained traction across various industries, extending from basic materials like steel alloys to high-performance alloys such as titanium. This evolving process offers economic advantages over conventional welding methods. However, optimizing parameters is crucial for achieving uniform weld joints with high tensile strength, particularly in high-performance alloys like titanium. To address this challenge, samples were prepared using a tungsten carbide tool with three different pin cross-sections. Variations in spindle speed and feed rate were explored to analyze their impact on the welding results. Subsequent testing was conducted to identify the most optimized solution.
