Friction stir processing (FSP) is an emerging surface modification technology for enhancing the sheet metal properties through microstructural refinement at a particular region which might undergo severe plastic deformation. The extruded AZ31B magnesium alloy used in this investigation exhibits very limited ductility accompanied by brittle like behavior at room temperature because of hexagonal packed structure and severe mechanical twinning. Hence, an attempt was made to study the effect of processing parameters such as tool rotational speed and tool traversing speed on tensile properties of friction stir processed AZ31B magnesium alloy. It is found that the friction stir processing of the Magnesium alloy improved the ductility of the material when compared to the base material and also produced an ultrafine equiaxed grain in the processed zone, an ideal condition for the material to exhibit superplasticity.

Friction Stir Processing (FSP) technology was wielded to output the Al7075/ Al2O3 surface composite. The effects parameters of processing method on particle distribution have been studied. The microstructure and mechanical characteristics of the samples were examined using the optical microscope, SEM and hardness examination. Acquired consequences, showed that Al2O3 particles were in a good interior distribution inside the basement. This technique produced excellent bonding between the surface composite and the base material. On other hand the surface hardness was increased about 25% as compared with the substrate. In addition, grain matrix refinement and enhanced particle distribution were obtained after each FSP pass. Also the dispersion of Al2O3 particles in the stirred area became more homogeneous and the average hardness improved by increasing the number of passes.
