The plunge force of 6061-T6 aluminum alloy refill friction stir spot welding was measured through experiments. The variation law of plunge force during welding and the effect of different process parameters on plunge force was studied. The experimental results show that the plunge force first increases and then decreases during the plunging process. The plunge force is closely related to the frictional heat generated in the welding process. The higher the rotation speed of the stirring head, the smaller the plunge speed, the more friction heat production, the higher the thermoplastic degree of the welded material, and the smaller the plunge force required. Within the range of selected process parameters, the "cold condition" of low speed (900 r/min) and large plunge speed (100 mm/min) is used, and the maximum plunge force is 12.63 kN; Use the "hot condition" of high speed (1 700 r/min) and small plunge speed (20 mm/min),the maximum plunge force is 3.2 kN.The plunge depth has little effect on the maximum plunge force .
