Unlike the existing melting welding process, Friction Stir Welding(FSW) is an environmental-friendly solid phase welding process that is used for welding light metals such as aluminium alloys, which exhibits less deformation by thermal stress, and does not generate toxic gases. This paper performed lap joint welding for aluminium alloy through friction stir welding process. During the welding process by using a threaded cylindrical probe tool, defects occurred on the welding surface in respect to the rotating direction of the tool.
