A new welding method: ultrasonic assisted friction stir spot welding (UAFSSW) was put forward in the present study. UAFSSW was successfully applied to weld dissimilar AZ31 Mg alloy and 6061 Al alloy. Results show that for either conventional FSSW or UAFSSW, sound joints are obtained with the upper Mg alloy and lower Al alloy configurations. Ultrasonic vibration is beneficial for the upward flow of lower aluminum alloy, the increase of the stir zone (SZ) width and the refinement of the grains in the SZ. All cross sections of the Al–Mg joints exhibit the formation of intermetallic compounds (IMC) in the SZ. The crack of the conventional FSSW joint propagates exactly along the interface between the dissimilar materials and exhibits an inverted V-shaped morphology. After reaching the highest point of the hook defect, crack of the UAFSSW joint extends to the keyhole, leaving a portion of Mg alloy on the lower sheet. Conventional FSSW and UAFSSW joints show different IMC compositions at the faying interface.
