In this study, AA1050 Aluminum alloy plates were welded with
friction stir welding method in butt fonn, and the fatigue resistance
properties of the joints were investigated. Rotation and transverse speeds of
the welding tool were selected as variable pararneters for the research. lt was
observed that mechanical properties of the material improved at high rotation
and high transverse speeds, due to the decreased heat exposed on the plates.
