The objective of this article is to provide a review of friction stir processing (FSP) technology and its application for microstructure modification of particle reinforced composite materials. The main focus of FSP was on aluminum based alloys and composites. Recently, many researchers have investigated this technology for treating other alloys and materials including stainless steels, magnesi...

(57) ABSTRACT Metallic materials may be joined utilizing a friction stir processing teclmique. The friction stir processing technique utilizes a shaped, rotating tool to move material from one side of the joint to be welded to the other without liquefying the base material.

friction-stir welding process is a novel method of solid state welding, which produces heat due to friction between the pin, the shoulder and the workpiece. this heat causes a paste area. shoulder pressure and pin spin cause edges integration and lead to welding. in this study, firstly, the feasibility of welding of steel sheet (en10130) with a thickness of 1.5mm has been tested by 58 experimen...

Friction Stir Processing (FSP) is a recent outgrowth of the Friction Stir Welding (FSW) process and relies on solid-state deformation to modify the surface of the working surface/materials. Our work to date has shown to locally eliminate casting defects and refine the microstructure to improve their mechanical properties and enhance corrosion resistance. Such improvements have important implica...

Friction stir welding does not involve bulk melting of the components that are joined. This has inspired attempts to exploit it for joining materials which differ in properties, chemical composition or structure, and where fusion can lead to detrimental reactions. The purpose of this special issue of Science and Technology of Welding and Joining was to assess the status of friction stir welding...

12.7-mm thick plates of 6061-T6511 aluminum alloy and high hardness steel (528 HV) were successfully joined by a friction stir bonding process using a tungsten Process parameter variation experiments, which geometry, plunge and traverse rates, tool offset, spindle tilt, and rotation speed, were conducted to develop a parameter set which yielded a defect free joint. Laboratory tensile tests exhi...

Recently friction stir welding for manufacturing of welded tubes has been developed. Friction stir welding is a continuous solid state welding process in which a non-consumable rotating tool using severe plastic deformation Can join materials can be join materials. Commonly, a portion of a specially shaped rotating tool is plunged between metalsjoint cross section and adjacent faces of the join...
