Abstract

ABSTRACTIn this work, friction spot welding (FSpW) was used to weld dissimilar 6063/5083 aluminium alloys, and the effects of the sleeve plunging speed on joint microstructures and the lap shear properties were discussed. Results showed that the keyhole can be eliminated using FSpW. Bending hooks changed to a flat morphology when the plunging speed was increased. Excellent bonding was formed at the lap interface in the sleeve-affected zone. As the sleeve plunging speed was increased from 40 to 110 mm min−1, the lap shear failure loads for the joints first increased and then decreased. A maximum failure load of 8017 N was attained when using a sleeve plunging speed of 80 mm min−1. All joints fractured at the lap interface.
