Compared with common single-side probeless friction stir spot welding (P-FSSW), the plastic strain during DP-FSSW is nearly symmetrical with respect to the bondline to suppress the extension of hook defect, which is detrimental to the joint mechanical strength. With DP-FSSW, a fully metallurgically bonded region has formed due to severe plastic deformation at high temperatures. Tensile/shear tests show that the joint strength could exceed 8 kN, which is comparable to P-FSSW and refill FSSW, and all fractures happen in a shear failure mode as cracks extend along the in terface of two sheets. The microhard ness profile exhibits a uniform distribution along the thick ness direction, in which the hook defect shows the lowest value.展开更多
