Most of the industrial applications based upon surface properties. Aluminum and its alloys are mostly used in the surface application industries due to their excellent mechanical and corrosive properties. However, it exhibits poor tribological properties. To enhance the mechanical and wear properties of the material grain refinement mechanism is to be incorporated. To improve the surface properties of the material the Friction stir Processing (FSP) Technique is mostly used nowadays. FSP plays an important role in modifying the surface in an efficient, environmentally friendly, and economical manner. This review article describes the current status of the FSP Technology in grain refinement of Aluminum alloys.

This chapter is focused on the recent advances in the solid state surface engineering techniques including Friction Stir Processing (FSP) and Friction Surfacing (FS). The effectiveness of FSP and FS in improving the surface properties is explained in detail along with the principles, applications, advantages, and disadvantages of these techniques. The parameters affecting FSP and FS are presented. Various surface properties improved in different alloys by FSP and FS along with the results of the recent research work is presented in this chapter. The shortcomings of the processes and ways to overcome them are discussed. The effect of FSP on pitting corrosion of AA 6082 is studied and the results are presented.
