AB  - Friction Stir Welding (FSW) is the fumeless solid state welding technique. In which the materials are
joined by placing nearby with tightly clamped and a rotating tool was inserted with longitudinal feed and an
axial load. Due to the stirring action, the metals plastically deformed and joined together. In this research the
base metals are AA7075-T6 and A384.0-T6 aluminium alloys of 6.35 mm thickness butt joints. A design matrix
was developed by using MINITAB-17 Software and the FSW was carried out in a friction stir welding machine.
By using the FSW specimens, the Ultimate Tensile Strength (UTS) was conducted and find out the lowest UTS
specimen to do fatigue test. The fatigue strength of the base metals of AA 7075-T6, A384.0-T6 and the same
combinations of lowest UTS, FSW specimens are tested and analysed in low cycle fatigue strengths of <10<sup>5</sup>
cycles.
