In the current research, friction stir processing (FSP) of AA 6061 alloy was carried out using two different tool geometries and by varying process parameters like tool rotational speed and traverse speed to determine its influence on the microstructure modification and mechanical properties of the examined alloy. It was noted that the type and distribution of the strengthening precipitates in the friction stir processed Al 6061 alloy appreciably depend on the FSP parameters. The mechanical properties of friction stir processed alloy were investigated using microhardness and tensile test. It was found that, friction stir processed AA6061 under optimum processing conditions exhibits decreased hardness and tensile strength with increased ductility.
