简介：
Overview
This article presents a protocol for friction stir spot welding (FSSW) on dual phase 780 steel. The process involves a high-speed rotating tool pin that generates heat through friction to soften the material, allowing the pin to plunge into two sheet joints to create a lap joint.
Key Study Components
Area of Science
- Materials Science
- Welding Technology

What is friction stir spot welding?
Friction stir spot welding (FSSW) is a solid-state welding process that uses a rotating tool to generate heat through friction.
What materials can be welded using FSSW?
FSSW is particularly effective for advanced high-strength steels (AHSS) and other materials that require low heat input.
What are the safety precautions for FSSW?
Safety precautions include wearing goggles and gloves, and standing behind protective barriers during the welding process.
How does FSSW compare to resistance spot welding?
FSSW offers lower welding temperatures, no splash, and greater process stability compared to resistance spot welding.
Who conducted the demonstration of the FSSW protocol?
The demonstration was conducted by graduate students Cheng Chia-Ping and Hsu Hao.
