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.

Dissimilar metal lap joining of A5052 aluminum alloy plate and C1100 pure copper plate was performed by using friction stir spot welding. The rotating welding tool, which was composed of a probe part and a shoulder part, was plunged from the aluminum alloy plate which was overlapped on the copper plate, and residual aluminum alloy thickness under the probe part of the welding tool after plunging of the welding tool was controlled in the range from 0 mm to 0.4 mm. The strength of the welding interface was evaluated by using tensile-shear test. Microstructure of the welding interface was examined by using an optical microscope and a field emission scanning electron microscope. The welding was achieved at the residual aluminum alloy thickness under the probe part of the welding tool below 0.3 mm. The welded area was formed at aluminum alloy/copper interface located under the probe part of the welding tool, and its width increased with decreasing the residual aluminum alloy thickness. A characteristic laminate structure was produced in the copper matrix near the welding interface. In the joint fabricated at the residual aluminum alloy thickness below 0.1 mm, hook of Cu was formed at edge of the welded area. The fracture did not occur at the welding interface. A remarkable improvement in strength was observed in the joint fabricated at the residual aluminum alloy thickness below 0.1 mm. The formation of laminate structure and hook is considered to result in joint strength improvement.
