In this study, a novel assembled-type tool was used to weld SS400 low-carbon steel plate using the friction stir spot welding. The welding tool was made of tungsten carbide embedded a circular rod made of the low-carbon steel. The superiority of this embedded material not only could effectively promote the interface temperature of the joint, but also the thickness of stir zone. Compared to previous studies, this novel tool can significantly improve the manufacturing cost and the trimming time. The welding apparatus composed of a vertical milling machine and a welding platform. The operating conditions of welding were as followings: the diameter of embedded material, the welding speed, and the vertical load. During the welding process, the interface temperature of the joint, the tool plunge depth, and the vertical load were simultaneously measured by the K-type thermocouple, a displacement sensor, and a load cell.
Experimental results revealed that the interface temperature, the thickness of the stir zone, and the tensile strength of the welding joint was proportional to the diameter of the embedded material. The best welding condition is the embedded material diameter of 10mm, the vertical load of 8kN, the welding speed of 1200rpm, and the welding time of 100 seconds.
