A friction stir welded A3003 aluminum alloy /SUS304 stainless steel dissimilar lap joint was successfully produced. A sound joint that fractured at the base metal was obtained in the center region of the joint through the reaction layer of aluminum-rich intermetallic compounds with nanoorder thickness. The microstructural changes at the interface of the joint was examined by studying the hole left by the extracted welding tool produced at the end of the friction stir welding (FSW) bead using transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Mixed layers consisted of ultra-fined intermetallic compounds and stainless steel were observed. The stirred aluminum alloy flows onto the mixed layer after the tool transit and the joining was achieved. Based on the TEM observations, the joining process of the lap joint was also discussed.

In this paper an analysis of Friction Stir Spot Welds (FSSW), applied to lap joint aluminum alloy is presented. The analyses regards the structural behavior of FSSW joints in order to assess the failure mode and its dependence on mechanical properties distribution of the sheets material and, consequently, on process parameters. FSSW joint is analyzed by means of a complex 3D FE model, which allows to evaluate, in a parametric manner, the multifaceted internal geometry of the joint and the actual distribution of material mechanical characteristics after welding. Experimental tests allowed to verify the results and to calibrate the material characteristics in the FE model.
