The upgoing trend of research on joining of dissimilar alloys grown the interest on the study and analysis of Friction Stir welding. Joining of different steel groups and Aluminium has been on the research interest on the previous decade. Recent innovative research and development areas is on with Magnesium alloy groups. The Aluminium alloys and Magnesium alloys are investigated for the weld strength with respect to the change of welding parameters including tool geometry, the tool transverse speed, and the tool angular velocity. In this paper, the tools were compared for friction stir stir welding of butt joint using AA6061 and AZ61.
