In this study, the performances of traditional rotating shoulder and stationary shoulder were compared during friction stir lap welding (FSLW) of 2024-T4 aluminum alloy. Formations, distortions, microstructure, and mechanical properties of the lap joints using different shoulders were mainly discussed. Results showed that smooth joint surface without shoulder marks and flash can be obtained due to the sealed barrier effect and scraping effect of the stationary shoulder. Joint with smaller distortion, which resulted from lower heat input, can be obtained using the stationary shoulder. Hook and cold lap can be largely depressed using the stationary shoulder, and therefore better lap shear properties can be obtained. When the retreating side of the upper sheet bore the main load during the lap shear test, joints using stationary shoulder owned about 50 % higher lap shear failure loads than the traditional joints. Moreover, although using different configurations, joints using the stationary shoulder owned rather uniform lap shear failure loads.
