Abstract: Friction stir welding (FSW) is a type of joining process, it uses solid state welding method, also it is widely used in same type and different types of welding like Al, Mg, Cu, Ti, and their alloys. In this study, friction stir welding of two aluminum alloys AA6082 is done with many sets of tool rotation speed, feed and axial force. In this experimental work FSW process was carried out for AA 6082 and optimization of that FSW process parameters were find out for maximum tensile strength values. Taguchi’s L4 orthogonal array was utilized for three parameters – tool rotational speed (TRS), traverse speed (TS), and axial force (AXF) with two levels. Several optimization was carried out with Taguchi method of grey relational tests. During the investigation obtained highest tensile strength value fourth sample 60.887 N/mm2 and lowest hardness strength value second sample 31HRB and bead appearance found very best surface occurred fourth test plates at the same time angle distortion observed very fine in the fourth test plate. The result was calculated for both ultimate tensile strength and hardness value. The expected grey relational grade was shifted from 0.704 to 0.792, it was the highest value received throughout this experimental results. It was mentioned that the multi-responses of FSW process was improved with this method.
