In the present scenario, composites are in huge demand in the industries due to their light weight, wear resistance, stiffness and high strength. The functional and structural properties were improved according to the need of industry. Particulate reinforcement is one of the methods to enhance the strength, ductility and toughness of the composites. Stir casting or friction stir processing technique was used to fabricate the metal matrix composite. For technology seekers it is very difficult to select appropriate techniques because there is lack of bench mark standards and industry experiences. The novel contribution of this paper is to provide systematic approaches and methodology which enable academic user as well as industry persons to select appropriate method and parameters for the fabrication of the metal matrix composite. This study guides the new researchers to fabricate and characterize the mechanical properties of aluminium-based composites reinforced with Al2O3, B4C, SiC, TiC, graphite and TiB2 particles.

Tool Pin

Friction stir processing (FSP) was used to fabricate Al/Cu metal matrix composite (MMC). The effects of two different tool pin profiles (straight cylindrical and square) and the number of FSP passes on microstructure, tensile properties and microhardness were studied. The results indicated that good dispersion of micro-sized Cu particles, finer grains, higher tensile properties and higher microhardness, can be achieved by the square tool pin profile compared to the samples produced by the other tool. Also it was observed that the ultimate tensile strength of the samples produced by two FSP passes, as a result of Cu particles shattering, increased intensively compared to the samples fabricated with first FSP pass. Further FSP passes increased the elongation of the composites without any considerable changes in yield and ultimate tensile strength.
