Abstract
Dissimilar Friction Stir Welded T-joints gives auxiliary strength to engineering structures, keeping insignificantbody weight. Due to the stronger material being away from the heat source, the T-joint between AA8011 and AA5754 is very vulnerable to formation of defects which results in lower tensile strength along the skin and stringer. In this paper, two aluminium alloys, namely AA5754 and AA8011 were friction stir welded in the Tjoint configuration, and the roles of welding parameters such as the tool transverse speed, tool rotational speed, and tool shoulder diameter on the tensile strength along skin and stringer was analyzed and discussed. The relative importance of the three process parameters was also analyzed. The tool shoulder diameter is found to be the most dominant factor for the strength along the skin, whereas, tool transverse speed is found to be the most important for the strength along stringer.
