Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a friction stir welding method and tool for a lap joint which can acquire an enough stir welding field in interface of a plate and reinforce strength of a joint. SOLUTION: A tool 20 consists of a basement part 10 and a pin part 11 formed in the tip of the basement part 10. This pin part 11 has a diameter smaller than the basement 10 and a screw part 12 is formed on the surface. As the pin part 11 goes to the tip, the diameter becomes larger, and the point has a large diameter part. In this way, by making the diameter of the point side bigger than an end in the pin part 11, the tool can enlarge a stir welding field.

Next, a case where a lap joint in which the thickness of the upper plate 1 is larger than that of the lower plate 2 using the tool 20 of the present embodiment will be described. The lap joint is formed by providing a packing material (not shown) on the back surface of the plate material 2 into which the pin portion 11 is press-fitted and joined. In this embodiment, joining can be performed in the same manner as the conventional friction stir welding method shown in FIG. 4A, and a lap joint can be formed. In this case, as shown in FIG. 1 (b), the shape of the stir welding region 3 is not trapezoidal as in the prior art, but the surface of the plate material 1 is the widest and gradually narrows. The width becomes narrower, the width increases from there to the bonding interface, and the width decreases from the bonding interface toward the back surface of the plate material 2. That is, the diffusion bonding region interface 30
Are not tapered but curved. The reason why the width of the region 3 on the back surface side is reduced is that the region 3 is cooled by the packing material.
