Friction stir welding–FSW was a promising welding technology from the same moment of its existence because of its easy use, low energy costs, being ecology friendly process and with no need for filler metal. The aim of the project is to find heat generated during frictional process. This is done by first making 3D non-linear model and then comparing it with experimental results. It will help to find trend for the relationship between rotation speed of the tool, translational velocity of tool and the maximum temperature of the welding process and the heat generated due to friction. The aim of this project is to create a simple, fast and accurate friction simulation model without the need of complex computational power or knowledge of precise process data.

Keywords- FSW, non-linear analysis, thermocouple analysis, friction heat, maximum temperature.
