The Friction stir processing benefits of aluminium composites contain advanced exploration in the region of aluminium alloy Friction Stir Welding - FSW. The modern advancements in Friction Stir Welding are concentrated on the optimization of welding parameters for multi response attributes. The investigations were carried out with the tool pin profiles, tool rotational speed and traverse speed as predictable process parameters for multi response optimization in Friction Stir Welding of 5052 aluminium alloy. GRG (grey relational grade) was obtained by the grey relational analysis of the friction stir welding process through different qualities, particularly, UTS-ultimate tensile strength and micro hardness. The significant process variables on GRG and most substantial parameters traverse speed and tool pin profiles are examined by ANOVA. Excluding tool rotational speed, tool pin profiles and traverse speed were likewise observed to be significant. To approve the investigation, verification of tests was completed at optimal parameters arrangement and predicted outcomes were observed to be in great concurrence with test values.
