This paper investigates the mechanical properties and interface morphology of Mg/Al ultrasonic spot welding (USW) joint, adhesive bonding (AB) joint and ultrasonic spot weld bonding (USWB) joint. The peak load and fracture energy of USWB joint increased significantly compared to that of USW joint and AB joint. The USWB joint presented a hybrid fracture mode which was composed of the delamination failure at adhesive/Mg interface, cohesive failure within the adhesive and cleavage failure in the weld zone. The interface morphology suggested that USWB joint exhibited fewer defects in the cured adhesive matrix and elevated connection density of adhesive/metal interface, which improved joint strength and altered the fracture mode.
