Abstract: In the present paper, a three-dimensional thermal model for Friction Stir Welding (FSW) is presented. The objective of this research is to develop a finite element simulation with improved capability to predict temperature evolution in aluminium alloy. The simulation model is tested with existing experimental results obtained by Hwang et al. aluminium alloys 6061-T6. The results of the simulation are in good agreement with that of experimental results. The peak temperature obtained was 397.611°C, which was much less than the melting point 6061-T6 aluminium alloy. Error analysis is done between theoretical values for 6061-T6 aluminium alloy obtained from ANSYS and experimental values obtained by Hwang et al.
