Abstract :In this study two aluminum alloy materials of EN AW-5083-H111 and EN AW-6082-T651 were joined with Friction Stir Welding considering the parameters as the tool shoulder diameter, spindle speed and feed rate. The mechanical properties of the weld joints such as yield strength, tensile strength and micro-hardness and metallographic properties were investigated comparatively with the use of these welding parameters. The yield strength of the weld joints were determined to be between 136-217 MPa while the tensile strengths were between 159-230 MPa and the percent elongations were between 2.28-5.44 %. The hardness values measured in weld areas were higher in the EN AW-6082 base metal side compared with EN AW-5083 base metal side.
