N2 - In the present work, the influence of shoulder diameter, traverse speed, and rotational speed on the formability of friction stir welded sheets made between sheets of AA6061T6 and AA5052H32 Al alloys has been studied. In-Plane Plane-Strain formability tests are conducted for this purpose. It is understood from the results that the formability of welded sheets can be improved by optimizing the welding and tool parameters. A larger shoulder diameter, higher traverse speed, and lower rotational speed are favorable for improved formability, and strain hardening exponent of weld region. This is due to the fact that the heat input and subsequent microstructure evolved depends on the heat input, which depends on the welding parameters.
