Constitutional liquation occurred at the friction interface of Al/Mg joints produced by continuous drive friction welding. This paper investigated the relationship between constitutional liquation and microstructure morphology of Al/Mg joints. The intermetallic compound γ -Al 12 Mg 17 underwent morphological transitions from submicron-size particles to island-like lamellae, then to network structure as the Al content increased. The submicron-size γ -Al 12 Mg 17 particles precipitated along the grain boundaries of α-Mg solid solution. The Mg-Al 12 Mg 17 divorced eutectic structure was formed. The formation mechanism of eutectic structure was studied with Al-Mg binary phase diagram and Al-Mg-Zn ternary phase diagram. The network structure was derived from dendritic structure γ -Al 12 Mg 17 . Friction pressure could improve the liquid-solid hybrid microstructure morphology at the welding interface.
