In the paper solid state bonding conditions obtained in friction stir welding (FSW) of AA5754-H111 butt joints are analysed, considering the so called zigzag line in the transverse section of the joints. A wide experimental campaign was carried out varying both tool advancing speed and tool rotational one. The effects of the process on the mechanical properties of the joint were highlighted and micro- and macro-observations were used in order to explain the reasons of the enhanced mechanical properties found for the welded material. Numerical results derived from a FEM model previously developed by the authors were utilised to point out the different mechanical and metallurgical behavior of the obtained joints.
