The lap welding of 1.2 mm 2A12 and 4.0 mm 7A09 aluminum alloys were carried out throgh refill friction stir spot welding technology by robot friction stir spot welding system. Specimen were field X-ray fluorescence exploration,subjected to tensile testing and observed by metallographic and scanning electron microscopy. The results showed that tensile force of joint was low when the welding speed was 30 mm/min. When the compaction/refilling rate increases to 40 mm/min and 50 mm/min, the tensile strength of the sample is relatively large, and the trend of change is similar with the increase of the rotational speed. The highest mechanical properties of the sample occur at the rotational speed of 2 100 r/min and the speed of 40 mm/min; The bonding area at the outer edge of a solder joint is the weakest area for material bonding. If there are defects on the surface of this area, the mechanical properties of the solder joint are poor. If the surface of this area is flat, the mechanical properties of the solder joint are high; the fracture mode of the sample is "perforation" on one side of the thin plate, and the solder joint remains intact on the side of the thick plate. The fracture mechanism is a mixed fracture of ductile fracture, intergranular slip, brittle displacement, and brittle fracture.
