In this study, by using friction
stir welding method AA 1050 Aluminium. Plates were joined in butt position and
the mechanical properties of the occurring joint are examined. During welding,
rotational speed of the mixer’s tip and welding speed are choosen as the
variable parameters. While weld peneration rate in accelerating mixer’s tip
rotational speed was static, it was seemed that heat input increased and
hardness and tensile strength of the material decreased. There fore weld
penetration rate was increased at the accelerating mixer’s tip rotational speed
and with the decrease the heat amount entering into the material it was
determined that there is an increase in the material’s mechanical properties.
