Abstract: The present paper give study about the Friction Stir Welding on T-Joint using tool as Cold work die steel(H-13) and work piece material as AA6082.The speed of tool (pin and shoulder type), has been taken as 1600 rpm, 1700 rpm & 1800 rpm and its translational speed as 4.23 mm/s. The temperature of the work piece plates is to be 20ºC. The work piece consists of two uniform material plate of aluminum alloy AA6082 for the experiment purpose. This study will show the temperature distribution, the stress distribution and the viscosity flow in the work piece plates at the give parameters at specified boundary condition. The experimental graphs will give the clear idea about the results of the experiment and thus will give the comparison of parameters at different speed of the tool.
