The present study focuses on the applicability of friction stir welding to pure Pb plates. The joint performances are evaluated by optical microscopy, microhardness measurements, notch impact tests and three point bending tests. The effects of the tool rotational speed (1500, 2000 and 2500 rev/min) and welding speed (72, 100 and 125 mm/min) on the joint performance are determined. The results indicate that the welded joints exhibit similar or higher mechanical properties than those of the base material. Optimal joint performance was achieved with a rotational speed of 1500 rev/min and welding speed of 100 mm/min. © 2018, National Institute of Science Communication and Information Resources (NISCAIR).
