This work analyses the thermal cycle in frictional stir welding of AA6061-T6.sectioning method is adopted to analyses the thermal cycle raised in the practical experiment. This does not consider the conductivity if material and heat transferred between tool and specimen. The experiment conducted in five travel speed and the temperature measured by k-type thermo couple. The effect of travel speed also studied measuring with thermocouple attached at different points at different distance from the welded center line during welding .The effect of travel speed with respect to time also studied measuring with thermocouple .The thermo couple fixed at different points at different distance from the welded center line during the welding process .The temperature value and its variation against distance from center line and max temperature point is calculated from the thermocouple reading and timer is used to calculate the time with respected to the travel distance .In this case of experimental work the temperature increase at those point towards the plates end .For each method the variation of temperature from the centerline and speed vary in different ways this can be due to thermal conductivity of material but it is not effected in the formation of the material.
