Abstract Friction stir welding (FSW) is a solid-state process, which has significant role in processes for nonferrous alloys. Conventional arc aluminum alloys such as metal inert gas (MIG) and tungsten (TIG) are replaced by FSW. The effect of FSW parameters rotational traverse speeds, tool geometry, plunge depth, tilt angle, etc., on weld quality were considered several optimization studies. He...

Friction stir processing (FSP) is a novel method of metal surface modification during the process by addition strengthening particles. FSP produced refined microstructures with development added ceramic particles on metal. In this FSP, mechanical characteristics were enhanced parameters, tool spinning speed, traverse speed and axial force high carbon chromium die steel (non-consumable tool). re...
