Manufacturers have been promoting multimaterial designs. So the dissimilar material welding methods are being developed. Especially, heat welding technology, which is a direct joining by local heating, has been focussed. Therefore, this study used a heat welding technology for friction stir spot welding of aluminium alloy and carbon fibre‐reinforced plastic. This study investigated the effect of changes to jig constraint of joined members on the fatigue properties of joints. Also, the fatigue life estimation was carried out by considering the singular stress at the welding joint interface. As a result, the fatigue strength of joint in a less constrained state is higher than that in a more constrained state. The singular stress intensity at the slit tip was uniformly predicted by the differences in welding parameters of joints.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
