Abstract: In this paper Friction Stir Welding (FSW) of two dissimilar aluminium alloys (AA5083 and AA6061) was successfully carried out by considering their advancing and retreating side during the process. It was observed from this experiment that the materials located on advancing side experience a longer contact under the shoulder of tool during process. This contact causes deformed and undeformed material to get larger contact with each other, so that the …
