This research is carried out to determine the optimum welding parameters that contribute to the least root deformation. The rotational speeds of 910 rpm, 1280 rpm and 1700 rpm are used. Meanwhile for the edge preparation, butt, stepped and angle are considered. The selected pin profiles are cylinder, square and triangle shapes. The experiment is tested with nine trials by changing the various combination of welding parameters. A 5 mm thick AA5083 plate was used as specimen materials. The result is gained by measuring the root deformation under the optical microscope at the joining part. This study is determining the optimum welding for the self-supported friction stir welding at less effect of root deformation for AA5083 plate butt joints. © 2021, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.
