Abstract: A comparison of middle transverse and longitudinal samples of 6 mm thick FSW AA5083/AA6082 joints is reported in this study. To investigate the differences, the study compares the FSW middle samples, obtained from the two orientations, to the parent materials through metallographic (macro/microstructure) and mechanical (tensile, micro-hardness) tests. The results revealed that the transverse and longitudinal samples had hardness values of 93.90 and 119.27 HV0.2, respectively, whereas the highest tensile strength of the same samples was 130.694 MPa and 127.833 MPa, with strain values of 0.054 and 0.0834, respectively.
