摘要: AbstractTensile shear fatigue tests have been performed using resistance spot welded (RSW) joint and friction stir (FSSW) of aluminium alloy sheets. When strength was characterised in terms applied load, RSW showed higher than FSSW the entire load range, while normalised with respect to nugget area joint. Friction exhibited a very small scatter life compared joint, indicating that is stable reliable joining method. Macroscopic fracture modes were similar both joints: high region parent sheet low region. It indicated geometrical factors around weld zone played dominant role determining mechanism joints.
