Friction powder processing (FPP) has been developed based on the principle of friction stir welding (FSW) or friction stir processing (FSP). The FPP is a method to design the properties of the processed area by performing FSP after powder with a controlled composition is placed in the gap between two plates. The FPP experiments were performed using a tool with the shoulder diameter of 15mm and the probe diameter of 6mm. The tool traveled at 100mm/min and rotated at 1500rpm. A1050 aluminum was used as the plate. Pure Al powder (89μm average grain diameter) and pure Cu powder (106μm average grain diameter) were used as the additives. When using pure Al powder, the pure Al powder left in the base metal after the first pass is sufficiently stirred by performing the second pass and then a good joint without defects is obtained. However, more than three passes are not effective for improving the strength of the welded area. When using pure Cu powder, nanoscale Al2Cu precipitates are uniformly formed in the stir zone, and accordingly, the hardness is significantly increased.

AbstractGrain size reduction induced by severe plastic deformation (SPD) and the resulting mechanical properties have been widely investigated for pure metals but less is known and reported about multi-phase materials. To study the grain size reduction mechanisms in multiphase structure subjected to SPD, two copper based composites (Cu-10%Fe and Cu-43%Cr) were severely deformed by torsion under high pressure. The grain size achieved with these composite materials is much smaller than in pure metals. It is for example in a range of 10 to 20 nm for the Cu-43%Cr composite, e.g. one order of magnitude lower than in pure Cu processed by SPD. Three dimensional atom probe data show also the formation of non equilibrium supersaturated solid solutions. The mechanisms of the deformation induced intermixing are discussed together with its influence on the mechanical properties.
