Abstract

The objective of this research was to investigate the mechanical properties and macrostructural
of dissimilar aluminium alloys SSM356-T6 and SSM6061-T6 jointed by different processes: TIG and
Friction stir welding (FSW). Friction stir welding is a solid state welding. An aluminium alloys 4 mm
thickness was used as based material for preparing butt joint welded and filler rod type of AA4043 was
used as joining the plate. The result showed that the tensile properties of joints dissimilar aluminium
alloys SSM356-T6 and SSM6061-T6 by FSW were superior to TIG welding.
