Abstract

Aluminum 6061 is a material that is widely used in the railway manufacturing industry. Friction Stir Welding (FSW) is a solid-state welding method without the addition of filler metal. FSW utilizes heat between the rotating tool and the gripped workpiece so that the heat generated is soften and melt the base metal. This study aims to make a friction stir welding chisel with a variation of pin radius (3 mm, 4 mm, 5 mm) and determine the tensile strength of the FSW welded joint. From the results of tests carried out after the welding process, it could be concluded that the best connection quality obtained from the welding process was 3 mm with an average tensile strength value of 210,056 Mpa, while the lowest average tensile strength was obtained on welding results using a pin radius variation of 5 mm with tensile strength value of 146,356 MPa. This was due to weld flash which could cause a decrease in tensile strength when using a 3 mm pin variation less than using a 4 mm and 5 mm pin variation.
