Abstract

Friction Stir Welding is done on the Al alloy AA 5083 as well as magnesium alloy AZ31B with dimensions of 150X100X6 mm. The tool profiles used in this work are Square, Conical, Cylindrical threaded, Tapered threaded, and Hexagonal; Tool profiles are made up to certain specifications, and H13 steel is used as a tool material.The FSW tools were hardened to improve their characteristics. Tool profile plays an important role in improving welding. This study explains the essential welding parameters used in the process. Employed characteristics include traverse speed, tool rotational speed, and tool pin profile.Welded joints' mechanical characteristics were examined by conducting various tests such as tensile strength test, Impact test, Microstructure Analysis, and bending test. Following welding, the welded aluminum alloy and magnesium alloy were machined using an EDM machine following ASTM standards.At last, the test results are compared between both the aluminum and magnesium alloys
