Multipass friction stir processing (MP-FSP) is a solid-state surface modification technique, which was developed based on the simple principle of FSW. Aluminium plates were subjected to MP-FSP from 1 14 passes along longitudinal direction with specified process parameters such as rotational speed 1000 rpm and travel 70 mm/min axial force 15 kN. Subsequently, similar had followed by doublepass (...

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...

BACKGROUND Controlled ovarian stimulation (COH) with intrauterine insemination (IUI) is commonly offered to infertile couples with patent fallopian tubes because it is simple, non-invasive and cost-effective technique. Another non-invasive method is fallopian tube sperm perfusion (FSP). This study was performed to compare the relative efficacy between FSP using fallopian sperm transfer (FAST) s...

Trigonella foenum graecum (fenugreek) is traditionally used to treat disorders such as diabetes, high cholesterol, wounds, inflammation, and gastrointestinal ailments. Recent studies suggest that fenugreek and its active constituents may possess anticarcinogenic potential. We evaluated the preventive efficacy of dietary fenugreek seed and its major steroidal saponin constituent, diosgenin, on a...

A composite material based on the WE43 magnesium alloy and containing nano-sized hardystonite ceramic particles was processed by means of friction stir processing (FSP). Compressive strength strain-at-failure increased as a combined result FSP nanoparticle reinforcement. The results potentiondynamic polarization electrochemical impedance spectroscopy tests indicated that corrosion mechanism nan...
