Friction spot extrusion welding process is successfully performed on dissimilar aluminum alloys of AA2024-T3 and AA6061-T6 under the influence of shoulder features. The joints were analysed by microstructural features and mechanical properties using conventional and advanced tools of visual inspection, optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, electron back scattered diffractions, tensile testing and hardness testing. The results revealed that the joining was obtained by combination of mechanical locking from extruded material of top surface to predrilled bottom surface and diffusion in solid state. The stir zone and plastically deformed metal flow zone were influenced by scroll shoulder and smooth shoulder features. The tensile specimen of scroll shoulder was resulted to higher fracture load of 6381 N whereas the same was 4916 N in case of smooth shoulder. The interface of between plastically deformed metal flow zone and base material of AA6061-T6 can be considered as critical/weakest zone in case of friction spot extrusion. The variations of hardness were observed in stir zone, plastically deformed metal flow zone and thermo-mechanically affected zone in case of friction spot extrusion welding process.

Nanoindentation test was employed to measure the actual hardness and yield strength of the stir zone in the friction stir-welded single-phase brass joints. For this aim, different joints were prepared according to an experimental matrix based on the central composite rotatable design. In this design matrix, the tool rotational speed, tool traverse speed, and tool axial force were the input parameters. The outputs were the hardness and yield strength of the joints. To measure the hardness and tensile strength of the joints, the nanoindentation test was employed. Moreover, electron back scattered diffraction and transmission electron microscopy techniques were used to study the microstructural features. The results showed that by decreasing rotational speed and axial force, and by increasing the traverse speed, the hardness and yield strength of the joints were increased. In other words, lower heat inputs caused higher strength in the joints. Finer grain sizes, larger grain average misorientation amounts, i.e., existence of more dislocations, and greater Taylor factors in the lower heat input joints revealed that the influence of grain boundaries, dislocations, and texture were the origins of better mechanical properties.
