Abstract : Friction Stir Spot Welding (FSSW) is a joining process, in which a barreled shape tool with shoulder pin profiled is inserted in tool holder and is made to rotate between multiple work pieces of material in the joint line. Friction heat is produced in the midway of pin and work that are lapped together with the help of backing bar. The heat makes the workpiece to relent, causing the tool not to melt and allow the joint to be performed strong. An effort is made to design a tool which will be used for joining of Al. Parameters are optimized for the joining of similar metals with different thicknesses. The metals used here is Aluminium 6062.
