Experimental work was carried out at different levels of process parameters (rotational speed; traverse speed; pin profile; ratio between shoulder diameter and pin diameter; tilt angle; plunge depth and base metal location). The maximum joint efficiency, compared to the strength of aluminum alloy 5454, is 85.3% ER -
