Abstract

Friction stir lap welding of 7B04 aluminum alloy was conducted in the present paper, and the effect of pin length on hook size and joint properties was investigated in detail. It is found that for each given set of process parameters, the size of hook defect on the advancing side shows an “M” type evolution trend as the pin length is increased. The affecting characteristics of pin length on joint properties are dependent on the heat input levels. When the heat input is low, the fracture strength is firstly increased to a peak value and then shows a decrease. When the heat input is relatively high, the evolution trend of fracture strength tends to exhibit a “W” type with increasing the pin length.
