Fatigue Life Assessment of Refill Friction Stir Spot Welded Alclad 7075-T6 Aluminium Alloy Joints

Refill Friction Stir Spot Welding (RFSSW) shows great potential to be a replacement for single-lap joining techniques such as riveting or resistance spot welding used in the aircraft industry. In this paper, the fatigue behaviour of RFSSW single-lap joints is analysed experimentally in lap-shear spe...
