A variation of FSW, friction stir processing (FSP), has been used to modify selected regions of materials to enhance specific properties while eliminating fusion welding defects such as porosity, cracking, and the cast microstructure. The combination of fusion welding defects and high tensile residual stresses caused by the solidification of the molten weld pool adversely affect the post weld s...

Friction Stir Processing (FSP) is a method for solid-state processing, in which rotating tool moved onto the material surface to modify microstructure and thus obtain improved properties of surface. We study effects FSP on aluminium alloy A6061-T651 using made at Institute Metal Science, Equipment, Technologies with Centre Hydro- Aerodynamics (IMSETCHA) Bulgarian Academy Sciences. The has threa...

Metal matrix composites (MMCs) exhibit improved strength but suffer from low ductility. Metal particles reinforcement can be an alternative to retain the ductility in MMCs (Bauri and Yadav, 2010; Thakur and Gupta, 2007) [1,2]. However, processing such composites by conventional routes is difficult. The data presented here relates to friction stir processing (FSP) that was used to process metal ...

Fusion welding is a commonly applied manufacturing process in all fields of industry. Some imperfections (formation coarse-grained microstructure, decrease mechanical property, etc.) can occur especially the fusion welding-based fabrication aluminum alloys which have specific features, such as having high thermal conductivity, expansion coefficient, hydrogen solubility liquid state, and oxide l...

Surface composite layers were successfully fabricated on an A 1050-H24 aluminum plate by dispersed iron (Fe) and magnetite (Fe₃O₄) particles through friction stir processing (FSP). Fe and Fe₃O₄ powders were packed into a groove of 3 mm in width and 1.5 mm in depth, cut on the aluminum plate, and covered with an aluminum sheet that was 2-mm thick. A friction stir processing (FSP) tool of square ...

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...

Abstract In the current investigation, influence of post-process and in-process cooling on microstructural, mechanical electrochemical behavior wide-area stir zone (WSZ) processed with overlapping friction processing (OL-FSP) was studied. The WSZ successfully prepared in Al5083 aluminum alloy using multi-pass (FSP) 50% pin under both conditions. FSP (PP-FSP) used solid CO 2 as media, whereas (I...

An Investigation was conducted to produce Aluminium based Functionally graded material (FGM) composites by Friction stir processing (FSP). A reinforcement strategy featuring the use of Alumina and TiC reinforcements investigated, where holes were drilled in an plate, filled with stirred using FSP. mathematical model formulated for positioning such a manner that composition varies from maximum m...
