The paper presents a detailed study on the union of two sheets on an extruded structural profile. The innovative idea is related to the opportunity of freely shaping the extruded profile, thus allowing the production of appendix suitable to be used as filler material or clamping system during the FSW stage. Three types of profile shapes were used (simple profile, profile with I appendix, and profile with T appendix) and, for each condition, optimizations of PIN shape and process parameters were carried out on the base of tensile tests results and microstuctural analysis.
