In this paper, the effect of tool tilt angle on tensile-shear failure load and weld zone properties for 1050 aluminum plates, welded by friction stir lap welding, were investigated. For this purpose, tool tilt angle was varied from 0° to 5° under the constant other parameters, such as tool geometry, tool rotation speed of 1200 rpm and tool travel speed of 30 mm/min. The tensile-shear test was employed to test the mechanical properties of the joint. Optical microscope examinations, microhardness and temperature measurements were also performed in weld zone of lap joints. According to overall results, the tool tilt angle has a reasonable influence on the joint soundness and weld defect formation. If the tool axis was perpendicular to plate surface or a larger tool tilt angle was used, such configurations had harmful effect for the weld zone. In such case the tensile-shear failure load dropped from 4853 N to 2799 N. Recorded peak temperatures varied from 381°C to 438°C in the weld center. The measured mean hardness values of the stir and heat-affected zones were 31.5 HV and 28.3 HV, respectively, which are lower than that of aluminum 1050 base metal (40.7 HV).

This study deals with the weldability and assessment of the friction stir spot welding of dissimilar CuZn30 brass/DP600 steel couple. The effects of axial tool load and tool hold time were evaluated in the joining experiments. The tool load forces of 3.2-4.8 kN and the tool hold times of 8 s and 12 s were applied to brass/steel bimetal sheets. Tensile-shear test was employed to investigate the mechanical properties of the joint. Optical and scanning electron microscopies were utilized to characterize the microstructure of the joint having the better mechanical performance, as well as the microhardness test. Temperature measurements were also performed between the lapped sheet faces. The results show that the vertical tool load value has reached more significant influence than the tool hold time. Furthermore, the tensile-shear failure load has increased with increasing tool load and hold time and has reached the highest value of 4.6 kN. The EDS analyses on the fractured surface depict that the copper and zinc concentrations are similar to those of CuZn30 base metal. A peak temperature of 607°C was measured in the weld centre of this joint. No significant microstructural change was observed in the steel sheet, while the fine grains with onion rings were revealed in the brass. Different hardness values were measured depending on microstructural change in the weld zone. Although the onion rings made a contribution to the microhardness, a softened stir zone (129.8 HV), with regard to the brass base metal (149.1 HV), was observed.
