Abstract

In friction stir welding (FSW), tool geometry plays an important role in joint quality. In order to improve mechanical properties of friction stir lap welding (FSLW) joint, a tool with a reverse-threaded pin was designed in the present study. Using 2024-T4 aluminum alloy as the research object, tools with the full-threaded pin and reverse-threaded pin were used in FSLW. Results showed that, when using the same parameter combination, FSLW joint using the reverse-threaded pin owned bigger effective sheet thickness (EST), bigger lap width and better lap shear failure strength. Compared with the full-threaded pin, fracture mode of the FSLW joint changed from shear fracture mode to tensile fracture mode when the reverse-threaded pin was used. Fracture morphologies presented ductile fracture.
