Abstract
ABSTRACTThe purpose of this paper is to establish the welding technology for dissimilar materials of carbon fibre-reinforced plastic. Therefore, this study focused on friction stir spot welding, which can be simply substituted for spot welding which is widely used for welding of automobile body. In this study, friction stir spot welding was used to weld joints of carbon fibre-reinforced plastic and aluminium alloy, and the effect of aluminium alloy surface treatments on the fatigue properties and the fracture mechanism of dissimilar material joints were investigated experimentally and statistically. As a result, it is possible to create welding joints with high fatigue durability by using the surface treatments on the aluminium alloy.
