Abstract
In this study, similar aluminum alloys AA5052 with additional carbon fiber-reinforced polymer composite (CFRP) interlayer were selected to investigate the effect of welding parameters (rotational speed and dwell time) on the mechanical properties, joint efficiency, and microstructure of friction stir spot weld joint. The maximum tensile shear load was 1779.6 N with joint efficiency of 14.6% obtained at rotational speed of 2,000 rpm and 2 s dwell time, which is 39.5% higher than the value at low rotational speed 850 rpm and 2 s dwell time. Meanwhile, the maximum microhardness 58 HV was attained in the keyhole region at rotational speed of 2,000 rpm and dwell time of 5 s, which is 22.4% higher compared to low rotational speed. The SEM-EDS results reveal the presence of intermetallic compounds (Al-Mg-C), which enhance the intermetallic bonding between elements.
