A 3D thermal pseudo mechanical model formulated in an Eulerian frame considering a quassisteady approach to Friction Stir welding modeling of AA6061 Aluminium alloy is proposed and implemented using nonlinear finite element code in Comsol Multiphysics v 4.1. The effect of different operating parameters on the temperature distribution was analyzed. The material flow is found to be enhanced with the increase in traverse speed and angular velocity of the pin with a pronounced swirl on the advancing side. The distribution of equivalent plastic strain and dynamic viscosity was found to correlate with the distribution of the microstructure zones in the weld.
