| Abstract Scope |
The flat friction stir spot welding using double side adjustable tools technique has been developed, which was successfully applied to the magnesium alloy joining and low carbon steel joining in our previous study. In this study, this welding technique was implemented for the dissimilar welding of low carbon steel and an aluminum alloy, whereby sound joints were obtained. The microstructure of the welded joints was investigated in detail, and its effects on the joint properties were discussed. The interlocking effects and uniform intermetallic compounds layer, introduced by the adjustable probes, were considered to significantly improve the joint performance. |
