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

Ductility Improvement of an AZ61 Magnesium Alloy through Two-Pass Submerged Friction Stir Processing

Friction stir processing (FSP) has been considered as a novel technique to refine the grain size and homogenize the microstructure of metallic materials. In this study, two-pass FSP was conducted under water to enhance the cooling rate during processing, and an AZ61 magnesium alloy with fine-grained and homogeneous microstructure was prepared through this method. Compared to the as-cast materia...

Optimizing the Process Parameters of Friction Stir Welded Joint of Magnesium Alloy Az31b

This paper deals with Friction stir welding of AZ31B Mg alloy by using H13 Tool at different rotational speeds and welding speeds .Experiments were conducted according to L4 Orthogonal array which was suggested by Taguchi. Optimum parameters for optimum Tensile strength, Hardness and Ductility were found with the help of S/N ratios. Therefore optimization of input process parameter is required ...

On the fabrication and characterization of Al5083/Al2O3 surface nanocomposite via friction stir processing

In the present study, Al5083- Al2O3 nanocomposite was successfully prepared by friction stir processing (FSP) with rotational speed of 710 rpm and travel speed of 14 mm/min. In order to improve distribution of Al2O3 particles, a net of holes were designed on the surface of Al5083 sheet. The samples were characterized by optical and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), microhardness, tensile and ...

Fabrication of Al/Graphite/Al2O3 Surface Hybrid Nano Composite by Friction Stir Processing and Investigating The Wear and Microstructural Properties of The Composite

Friction stir processing was applied for fabricating an aluminum alloy based hybrid nano composite reinforced with nano sized Al2O3 and micro sized graphite particles. A mixture of Al2O3 and graphite particles was packed into a groove with 1 mm width and 4.5 mm depth, which had been cut in 5083 aluminum plate of 10 mm thick. Packed groove was subjected to friction stir processing in order to im...
