In recent years, friction stir welding (FSW) of dissimilar materials has become an important issue in lightweight and eco-friendly bonding technology. Although weight reduction of low-rigidity parts has been achieved, the weight reduction has been minimal because high-rigidity parts such as chassis require the use of iron. Considering the difficulty of welding a pipe shape, it is necessary to understand the effect of process parameters on mechanical performance. As a result of the study by various process parameters affecting the joint between aluminum and steel in the shape of a pipe, it can be seen that the tool penetration depth (TPD) has the most important effect on the tensile shear load (TSL). However, the effect of TPD on intermetallic compound (IMC), which has the most important influence on fracture, has not been well established. In this study, the effect of process parameters on IMC thickness and TSL in FSW of A357 cast aluminum and FB590 high tensile steel was investigated to reduce the weight of the torsion beam shaft of an automobile chassis. After the FSWed experiment, measurements were performed using an optical microscope and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) to investigate the microstructure of the weld. The formation of an IMC layer was observed at the interlayer between aluminum and steel. TPD is a major factor in IMC thickness variation, and there is a direct relationship between IMC thickness reduction and TSL increase, except for certain sections where the welding speed (WS) effect is large. Therefore, in order to improve mechanical properties in friction stir lap welding of aluminum and steel for high-rigidity parts, it is necessary to deepen the TPD at a level where flow is dominant rather than heat input.
