Abstract:A three-dimensional model for the pinless friction stir spot welding (P-FSSW) of copper-aluminum alloy with zinc interlayer was developed by the ABAQUS/Explicit. The distribution of temperature and stress at the joint zone, at three different shoulder diameters (including 16, 18, and 20 mm) and spot pass-number (including 1 to 3 pass), were simulated and verified by experimental measurements. Microstructural characteristics of the joint interfaces and phase evolution were analyzed by scanning electron microsco… Show more
