Abstract

Liquid Penetration Induced (LPI) cracking during AZ91, AZ31 and AM60 friction stir spot welding is investigated. The temperature cycles, within the stir zone and in the TMAZ region, are examined. The mechanism and the key factors determining LPI cracking in Mg-alloy friction stir spot welds are delineated.
