Friction Spot Joining(FSJ) has a strong potential for aluminum alloy joining in automobile industries. The present paper focuses on the attempt to optimize the FSJ process for lap joining of A5052-H32 and A6061-T6 aluminum alloys. For A5052 maximum tensile shear strength has been observed for a tool rotating speed of 800rpm and for A6061 at 1000 rpm. Study on fracture modes of the tensile tested specimens of both A5052-H32 and A6061-T6 revealed, for high tensile strength values, plug fracture mode and lower tensile values, shear fracture mode. Above 2000 rpm distortion of the base metal, beside the tool shoulder was larger and plug fracture mode has been observed.

In order to examine the springback amount and material properties of aluminum alloy sheets (AL1050 and AL5052) in the warm forming which forms the sheet above the room temperature, the stretch bending and draw bending tests and tensile test in various high temperatures are carried out. The warm forming temperature 15$0^{\circ}C$ is a transition in terms of the material properties: over the forming temperature 15$0^{\circ}C$, them $\sigma$$_{YS}$ , $\sigma$$_{TS}$ , E, K, n, etc. are bigger but $\varepsilon$ and plastic strain ratio are smaller. Below the forming temperature 15$0^{\circ}C$, there are no big differences in material properties as the forming temperature changes. AL5052 sheet has more springback effect than AL1050 sheet. While the springbacks of AL5052 and AL1050 sheets show a big reduction over the warm forming temperature 15$0^{\circ}C$ in the stretch bending test, the springback rapidly reduces in the warm forming temperature 15$0^{\circ}C$-20$0^{\circ}C$ for AL5052 sheet and 20$0^{\circ}C$-25$0^{\circ}C$ for AL1050 sheet in the draw bending test.

In this study, response surface method (RSM), back propagation neural network (BPNN), and genetic algorithm (GA) were used for modeling and multi-objective optimization of the parameters of AA5052-H32 in incremental sheet forming (ISF). The goal of optimization is to determine the maximum forming angle and minimum surface roughness, while varying the production process parameters, such as tool diameter, tool spindle speed, step depth, and tool feed rate. A Box-Behnken experimental design (BBD) was used to develop an RSM model and BPNN model to model the variations in the forming angle and surface roughness based on variations in process parameters. Subsequently, the RSM model was used as the fitness function for multi-objective optimization of the ISF process the GA. The results showed that RSM and BPNN can be effectively used to control the forming angle and surface roughness. The optimized Pareto front produced by the GA can be utilized as a rational design guide for practical applications of AA5052 in the ISF process

In this paper, for the mixed mode fatigue problem, the method of determining testing load was proposed. It is based on the plastic zone size and the limited maximum stress intensity factor by ASTM STANDARD E 647-00. The application method of maximum tangential stress criterion and the stress intensity factor for the finite width specimen was proposed. In the result of applying the method to mixed mode fat gut test for A5052 H34, it obtained the satisfactory experimental results on the stable crack growth.

Changes in the microstructure and mechanical properties of as-roll-bonded AA6061/AA5052/AA1050 three-layered sheet with increasing annealing temperature were investigated in detail. The commercial AA6061, AA5052 and AA1050 sheets with 2 mm thickness were roll-bonded by multi-pass rolling at ambient temperature. The roll-bonded Al sheets were then annealed for 1 h at various temperatures from 200 to 400 ℃. The specimens annealed up to 250 ℃ showed a typical deformation structure where the grains are elongated in the rolling direction in all regions. However, after annealing at 300 ℃, while AA6061 and AA1050 regions still retained the deformation structure, but AA5052 region changed into complete recrystallization. For all the annealed materials, the fraction of high angle grain boundaries was lower than that of low angle grain boundaries. In addition, while the rolling texture of the {110}<112> and {123}<634> components strongly developed in the AA6061 and AA1050 regions, in the AA5052 region the recrystallization texture of the {100}<001> component developed. After annealing at 350 ℃ the recrystallization texture developed in all regions. The as-rolled material exhibited a relatively high tensile strength of 282 MPa and elongation of 18 %. However, the tensile strength decreased and the elongation increased gradually with the increase in annealing temperature. The changes in mechanical properties with increasing annealing temperature were compared with those of other three-layered Al sheets fabricated in previous studies.

Self-piercing riveting (SPR) is receiving more recognition as a possible and effective solution for joining automotive body panels and structures, particularly for aluminum parts and dissimilar parts. In this study, static strength and fatigue tests were conducted using coach-peel and cross-tension specimens with Al-5052 plates for evaluation of fatigue strength of the SPR joints. For the static experiment results, the fracture modes are classified into pull-out fracture due to influence of plastic deformation of joining area. During the fatigue tests for the coach-peel and cross-tension specimens with Al-5052, interface failure mode occurred on the top substrate close to the rivet head in the most cycle region. There were relationship between applied load amplitude $P_{amp}$ and life time of cycle N, $P_{amp}=715.5{\times}N^{-0.166}$ and $P_{amp}=1967.3{\times}N^{-0.162}$ were for the coach-peel and cross- tension specimens, respectively. The finite element analysis results for specimens were adopted for the parameters of fatigue lifetime prediction. The relation between SWT fatigue parameter and number of cycles was found to be $SWT=192.8N_f^{-0.44}$.

Recently, smaller and lighter products have become of interest in industry applications that increasingly demand thin plate joints of thickness 1.0 mm or less using friction stir welding. In this study, high frequency spindles that run at 3,500-6,500 rpm are introduced for thin friction stir-welded plates. Weldability tests are performed for the butt-joint method of Al5052-H32 alloy of 1.0 mm thickness under 3,500-6,500 rpm spindle revolution with 250-400 mm/min feed speed. An optical microscope was used to analyze the bid structure of the welded zone and stir zone. The tensile-strength and hardness of the welded zone were then measured.

The purpose of this study is investigating the joint characteristics of advanced high strength steel DP780 and Al5052 alloy sheet in the clinching process. It is difficult to join the advanced high strength steel with light-weight materials like aluminum alloy, because of low formability of DP780. The defects of clinching joint such as necking of the upper sheet, cracks of the lower sheet and no interlocking were occurred by different ductility between advanced high strength steel and aluminum alloy. The clinching conditions should be optimized to interlock without any defects. In this study, the effect of process parameters of clinching process on joinability of advanced high strength steel with Al5052 alloy was investigated by using FE-analysis. From the result of FE-analysis, the clearance between clinching punch and die, die depth and the shape of die cavity mainly affected the joinability of advanced high strength steel with Al5052 alloy.

In this study, various electrochemical experiments were carried out to compare the corrosion characteristics of AA5052-O, AA5083-H321 and AA6061-T6 in seawater. The electrochemical impedance and potentiostatic polarization measurements showed that the corrosion resistance is decreased in the order of AA5052-O, AA5083-H321 and AA6061-T6, with AA5052-O being the highest resistant. This is closely associated with the property of passive film formed on three tested Al alloys. Based on the slope of Mott-Schottky plots of an n-type semiconductor, the density of oxygen vacancies in the passive film formed on the alloys was determined. This revealed that the defect density is increased in the order of AA5052-O, AA5083-H321 and AA6061-T6. Considering these facts, it is implied that the addition of Mg, Si, and Cu to the Al alloys can degrade the passivity, which is characterized by a passive film structure containing more defect sites, contributing to the decrease in corrosion resistance in seawater.

The through-thickness variations of strain and microstructure during high-speed hot rolled 5052 aluminum alloy sheet were investigated. The specimens were rolled at temperature ranges from 410 to $560^{\circ}C$ at a rolling speed of 15 m/s without lubrication and quenched into water at an interval of 30 ms after rolling. The redundant shear strain induced by high friction between rolls and the aluminum sheet was increased largely beneath the surface at a rolling reduction above 50%. Dynamic recrystallization occurred in the surface regions of the specimen rolled under conditions of high temperatures or high rolling reductions.
