Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of 6061 Al/AZ31 Mg Joints Friction Stir Lap Welded by a Tool with Variable-Pitch Thread Pin

Sheets of 6061-T6 aluminum alloy (thickness = 3 mm) and AZ31 magnesium alloy were friction stir lap welded by a tool with a variable-pitch thread pin (coarse-threaded in the upper part and fine-threaded in the lower part). For the same rotation speed and welding speed, the heat input was higher in j...
