The Box-Behnken exper-imental design in response surface methodology （RSM） was applied to optimize the P-FSSW parameters to attain maximum tensile/shear strength of the spot joints. Results show that an optimal failure load of 7.83 kN was obtained under a dwell time of 7.2 s, rotation speed of 950 rpm and plunge rate of 30 mm/rain. Sufficient dwell time is essential for heat conduction, material flow and expansion of the stir zone to form a sound joint. Two fracture modes were observed, which were significantly affected by hook defect. In addition to mechanical testing, electron backscattering diffraction （EBSD） and differential scanning calorimetry （DSC） were used for microstructure evolution and property analysis. The precipitation of GP zone and AI3Li as well as the ultrafine grains were responsible for the high microhardness in the stir zone.展开更多
