Abstract In the present study, effect of cone angle tool pin on mechanical properties and microhardness aluminum alloy AA6061-T6 specimens is investigated for three processes SFSW, symmetric DFSW, asymmetric DFSW. each mentioned welding processes, tools with 5 different conical angles 0, 5, 10, 15, 20° are used. these final welded joint have been enhanced noticeably compared to simple cylindric...
