The study has examined the influence of FSSW (friction stir spot welding) parameters (rotation speed, downward compression and welding period) on mechanical property (shear resistance force) by conducting FSSW experiments on 3mm-thick AZ31 magnesium alloy plates under the orthogonal design. According to the experiment result, welding period is the major factor that decides the shear resistance force of FSSW joints, optimum welding parameters are: rotation speed(RS) 2450r/min, welding period(WP) 8s, downward compression of the tool shoulder(DCTS) 0.2mm. Microstructure observations show that tiny and even equiaxial grains are formed in WN (Weld nugget zone) and coarse grains with uneven sizes are formed in TMAZ(thermo-mechanically affected zone) and HAZ (Heat affected zone).

The “stop-action” technique was employed to study grain structure evolution during friction-stir welding of AZ31 magnesium alloy. The grain structure formation was found to be mainly governed by the combination of the continuous and discontinuous recrystallization but also involved geometric effect of strain and local grain boundary migration. Orientation measurements showed that the deformation mode was very close to the simple shear associated with the rotating pin and material flow arose mainly from basal slip.
