Friction stir spot welding (FSSW) is provided a premium difference to resistance spot welding and rivet process for making the structures of aluminum sheet and it is a new development. ANSYS works is done which conducted on dissimilar material sheets of a1.1mm thick sheet of aluminum alloy (AA2024-T3) and a 0.8mm thick sheet of carbon steel (1006-AISI). A 3-D finite element model was built using ANSYS APDL to simulate the thermal and mechanical model during FSSW. The welding processes are performed using cylindrical pin with a 10mm diameter. Three tool rotational speeds are used during FSSW processes (900rpm, 1400rpm, 1800rpm). Results showed that the maximum temperature was 242.57ºC in nugget zone of dissimilar spot weld, at 15sec with a 0.4mm depth and 135.752°C at 10sec with a depth of 0.2mm.

Dissimilar metal of Steel and Magnesium alloy by friction stir spot welding is studied. Based on using orthogonal test method to optimize the process parameters and get satisfactory joint, SEM is used to observe the features of joint, fracture morphology, and XRD is used to determine the joint phase, and the results show that: the design of rotating tool without pin is reasonable and it can form satisfactory joints without keyhole for spot welding; spot welding nugget zone on the magnesium side shows the phenomenon of melting and solidification in the range of hundreds microns, and its microstructure appears a structure of dendrites; The fracture mode of spot welding joint is a mixed mode of cleavage and dimpled rupture.
