AB - In the present work, AA5052 sheets with thickness of 1 mm were successfully welded by protrusion friction stir spot welding as a low cost single-step method with a simple design that produces the no-keyhole joints with special mechanical properties at short dwell time and low tool rotation speed. By using suitable process parameters, the process is able to produce welds with superior mechanical performance in items of peak load and energy absorption compared to other techniques. The plunging depth and dwell time in this method were set as 0.2 mm and 6 s, respectively. The tool rotation speed was changed as 500, 800, 1250, and 1600 r/min to determine the optimum condition based on the microstructural and mechanical properties. Welds strength produced by the protrusion friction stir spot welding was directly related to the joint thickness, and the effective thickness of the upper sheet was maximum at 500 r/min. Protrusion friction stir spot welding joints presented circumferential failure mode after tensile shear testing. Regarding the sheets thickness used in this study, the joints produced by the current work presented high load bearing ability at dwell time of 6 s and tool rotation speed of 500 r/min compared to other techniques.
