1.6mm, as shown in Fig. 6(a). With higher upset pressure, more plastic aluminum alloy is squeezed out, decreasing the softened area of joint. The softened area thickness of sample 3 is approximately 1.9mm. The wider softened region is obtained under long friction time due to more friction heat that promotes the overaging phenomenon of Al alloy. Similar to the diffusion zone, the thickness of the softened area is larger under long friction time and low upset pressure within the range of welding parameters. Nevertheless, the microhardness of steel side is nearly not changed due to its high strength.3.4.2. Tensile strength The effects of upset pressure and friction time on joint strength are shown inFig.7(a) and(b).AspresentedinFig.7(a), thetensile strength of joint with friction time of 1s increases with increasing upset pressure. Compared with the joint strength curve in Fig. 7(b), the effect of upset pressure on tensile strength is more significant than that of friction time, similar to the research by Muralimohan et al. [12]. Obviously, the enlargement of upset pressure within limits improves the joint strength effectively. However, when the upset pressure exceeds 220MPa, thereisadecreased trendinthejoint strength.Thehigh upset pressurewithinlimitswillmaketheorganizational structurearoundthe interface tighter and can eliminate flaw, as presented in Fig. 5. By the observation of fracture structure, a better metallurgical bonding is realized in sample 2 under high upset pressure. Though the diffusion zone may decrease, the high upset pressure can effectively promote the bonding of two materials. Fig. 7(b) shows the influence of friction time on joint strength. With friction time of 1s, the maximum tensile strength of the joint can increase up to 304MPa that is 88 % of the 6061 aluminum alloy strength. Also, we can observe that when friction time is below 1s, the joint strength increases with friction time increasing. Short friction time willresult in insufficient friction heat that serves for atomic diffusion, restricting the metallurgical bonding between steel and aluminum alloy. However, the tensile strength of the Al/steel joint under the upset pressure of 220MPa decreases slightly with increasing friction time over 1s. Long friction time will bring about the excessive formation of IMCs, which may be the cause of the flaw at the interface. In general, theformationofbrittleIMCscanberestricted bycontrolling heat input. Friction welding, as a solid phase technique, can make an effective control of heat input. To obtain an excellent metallurgical bonding, it is of great significance to restrict the excessive formation of IMCs by controlling the diffusion of atoms under the optimized welding parameters with highupset pressure andlow friction time. Nevertheless, the interface microstructure is inhomogeneous along the radial direction as proved by Dong et al. [25], it is impossible to make the metallurgical bonding effective at the overall interface. To promote the metallurgical bonding in the center region of the weld interface by increasing friction time, the periphery region may generate excessive brittle IMCs that is detrimental to the joint strength, otherwise the center region will be unbonded.3.4.3. Bend ductility To clarify the joint properties in detail, the joints are bent by three point bending tests. As presented in Fig. 7(a) and (b), the bending properties of joints under different welding parameters show the same tendency as tensile strength. Figs. 8 and 9 show the appearances of joints after bending tests. The joints welded at different parameters fracture at the interfaceafter bending different angles. The joint welded withupsetpressureof220MPaandfrictiontimeof1scanbebentto80 degrees, as shown in Fig. 8(b). However,asshowninFig.8(a),thejointweldedwithupsetpressure of 120MPa will crack after bending to 33 degrees. The unbonded
