Refill friction stir spot welding of AZ31 magnesium alloy sheets: metallurgical features, microstructure, texture and mechanical properties

Zhe Liu et al.

Summary: In this study, 1 mm-thick AZ31 magnesium alloy sheets were joined by refill friction stir spot welding. The metallurgical features, microstructure, texture, and mechanical response of the spot-welded joints were investigated, and the effect of welding parameters on joint performance was evaluated. The results showed that the highest lap shear strength was achieved with a rotational speed of 1500 rpm and a plunge depth of 1.4 mm. A fine-grain structure was observed in the stir zone, and the grain size decreased with lower rotational speed and plunge depth. Furthermore, strain localization was observed during tensile deformation in the spot weld, and the mechanism behind this phenomenon was discussed.

Detailed characterizations of microstructure evolution, corrosion behavior and mechanical properties of refill friction stir spot welded 2219 aluminum alloy

Yangfan Zou et al.

Summary: The joints were successfully fabricated using refill friction stir spot welding (RFSSW) and were investigated for microstructure evolution, corrosion behavior, and mechanical properties. The stir zone (SZ) had refined and equiaxed grains, while rod-like precipitates were found in the base material (BM) of the lower plate. The hardness increased gradually from top to bottom, and the SZ showed excellent corrosion resistance.

Microstructure, mechanical and functional properties of refill friction stir spot welds on multilayered aluminum foils for battery application

Dennis Gera et al.

Summary: In this study, the refill friction stir spot welding (refill FSSW) method was employed to successfully weld multilayered foils to aluminum alloy sheets, producing defect-free welds with high strength. The experiment revealed that 2024 aluminum alloy was only present in the shoulder refill region within the stirred zone, while a thermomechanically affected zone was formed above the stirred zone in the probe refill region.
