Newer materials with unique properties are needed to cater the ever-increasing industrial demands to meet new challenges concerning technological advancements. Quest for special materials and processes is prevalent as conventional materials fail to level up. Composite materials promisingly bridge this gap by providing controllable properties at reasonable costs. Their scope of application can further be drastically enhanced by subjecting them to special surface processing treatments. Friction stir processing (FSP) is one such promising process that can meet the stringent applicational demands. Composites are increasingly being used in industries for properties like high strength to weight ratio, increased hardness, stiffness, ductility, corrosion resistance, etc. FSP, a solid-state material modification technique, has proved its caliber in surface composite fabrication. Some attention-seeking advantages of FSP include peerless efficiency, less tool wear rate, and ability to modify material locally are some of many attention-seeking advantages. Despite being cost-effective FSP also manages to eliminate the drawbacks of the conventional manufacturing process. FSP reinforces a special material into the parent material surface to attain specific properties. Properties so developed depend on parameters like: tool geometry, traverse speed, rotation speed, number of passes etc. The present paper aims to review comprehensive information on fabrication of surface composites by FSP, process parameters, properties, industrial applications, and future scope. Key Words: Friction stir processing surface processing treatments surface composites material modification process parameters.

Surface composite fabrication through Friction Stir Processing (FSP) is evolving as a useful clean process to enhance surface properties of substrate. Better particle distribution is key to the success of surface composite fabrication which is achieved through multiple passes. Multiple passes significantly increase net energy input and undermine the essence of this clean process. This study proposes a novel approach and indices to relate the particle distribution with the FSP parameters. It also proposes methodology for predicting responses and relate the response with the input parameter. Unit stirring as derived parameter consisting of tool rotation speed in revolutions per minute (rpm), traverse speed and shoulder diameter was proposed. The particle distribution was identified to be achieved in three stages and all three stages bear close relationship with unit stirring. Three discrete stages of particle distribution were identified: degree of spreading, mixing and dispersion. Surface composite on an aerospace grade aluminum alloy AA7050 was fabricated successfully using TiB2 as reinforcement particles. FSP was performed with varied shoulder diameter, rotational speed and traversing speed and constant tool tilt and plunge depth using single pass processing technique to understand the stages of distribution. Significant relationships between processing parameters and stages of particle distribution were identified and discussed.

Purpose A self-lubricant surface composite including Al matrix and Babbitt alloy 11 reinforcement has been fabricated via friction stir processing (FSP). Design/methodology/approach The optimum processing condition is estimated by statistical analysis of a L9 Taguchi design of experiment. The results of Taguchi analysis suggested four passes of FSP, traverse speed of 40 mm/min and rotational speeds of 1,250 rpm as the optimum parameters to achieve higher hardness and wear resistance. Findings The needle-shaped particles are fragmented into the finer particles after FSP. There is uniform distribution of precipitations after FSP. The microhardness of manufactured surface bearings has been increased. Finer particles, smaller grains and in situ formed intermetallic precipitations (AlSb) can be responsible for hardness enhancement. Wear resistance of base metal also has been remarkably enhanced after FSP. Originality/value The originality of this paper lies in the following: new self-lubricating surface composite; a tough and resistant to wear sheets; and using a solid-state method to fabricate a surface bearing.
