Friction stir processing (FSP) causes fine-equiaxed microstructure[1]. In this study, microstructure and mechanical properties of a 7075 aluminum alloy subjected to multipass FSP, MP-FSP, are assessed. A new zone, PBZ, has been discovered between stir zones, SZs. The SZs are composed of fine-equiaxed grains, while PBZs are composed of two types of (fine-equiaxed and coarse-elongated) grains, both of which are still finer than those of base metal. Elongation at 773K of MP-FSPed specimen becomes larger than that of base metal, based on superplastic deformation due to the finer microstructure. Local elongation is smaller in PBZ than in SZ.

In aeronautics and aerospace construction, whenever a seam is needed between aluminum alloy parts, riveting, nailing or bolting are the preferred methods of junction. Friction stir welding technology has made possible the realization of high strength aluminum alloy joints, which are normally considered non-weldable with conventional welding techniques.
