The shear force of the joint reached an ultimate value of 4.82kN. The shear force of the joint improved by increasing plunging depth of the tool. Samples of minimum shear force value failed by a pull\-outing aluminum metal from the carbon steel specimen. Samples of higher shear force value exhibited a shear mode of fracture. Increasing the rotating speed and decreasing pre\-heating increased the process temperature."]
