Friction Stir Welding (FSW) is remarkably new joining process with solidus state. This joining technique is environment friendly, energy efficient, and versatile. In particular, FSW can be utilized to join the high strength aluminium alloys and other dissimilar alloys that are difficult to weld by conventional fusion welding. The process parameters have a key role in determining the characteristics of the joint. In this work, three parameters of the weld namely, axial load (kN), rotational speed (rpm) and weld speed (mm/min) are considered. Three pairs of AA6061 and AZ61 plates were welded with three different sets of these parameters. After six months, the welded zone was immersed in corrosive solution of NaOH for different time periods. The corrosion was studied with the help of SEM and EDAX.
