In this present study, the full weld cycle of heat input will be gathered for rotational speed ranging between 1000 and 1600 rpm and travel speed between 3 and 5 mm/s. There will be 5 specimens to be friction stir welded. It was found that, the heat input will be increased with the increment of rotational speed up to 396 {\^A}oC and decreased with the increment of travel speed with a minimum of 221 {\^A}oC. These conditions were recorded by utilizing K-type thermocouples and the Signal Express software with a National Instrument model cDAQ-9171 data logger. {\^A}{\copyright} Springer International Publishing AG 2018.}, url = {https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85041735599&doi=10.1007\%2f978-3-319-72697-7\%5f38&partnerID=40&md5=6d7b5932b652b92dde10c5519f97d7d7} }
