Compositing Technology through Friction Stir Processing

surface characteristics improvement of az31b magnesium by surface compositing with carbon nano-tubes through friction stir processing

in this research, the compositing of the surface of az31b magnesium alloy with cnt was studied by fsp. the parameters under study were rotational speed (500-1500 rpm), transverse speed (12-44 mm/min), number of passes (1-4), and cnt weight fraction (0-2%). microhardness testing, optical metallography, fesem, and eds analysis were employed for the characterization of the samples. the suitable li...

Friction stir welding and processing

Friction stir welding (FSW) is a relatively new solid-state joining process. This joining technique is energy efficient, environment friendly, and versatile. In particular, it can be used to join high-strength aerospace aluminum alloys and other metallic alloys that are hard to weld by conventional fusion welding. FSW is considered to be the most significant development in metal joining in a de...

Friction Stir Processing of Aluminum Alloys: A Literature Survey

Many aluminum alloys with specific properties, like high strength, suffers from certain limitations in terms of cost and time of production, apart from the reduction in ductility. High strength accompanied by high ductility is possible with materials having fine and homogenous grain structures. Hence there arises a necessity to develop a processing technique that would produce a material with s...

Friction Stir Processing of Particle Reinforced Composite Materials
