In the present investigation, novel Ti / SiC surface nano-composite layer was successfully fabricated by dispersing nano-sized SiC particles into commercially pure titanium plates employing friction stir processing technique. The process parameters such as tool rotation and advancing speeds were adjusted to produce defect-free surface composite layer, however, uniform distribution of the nano-size SiC particles in a matrix of titanium was achieved after the second pass. The micro hardness value of the Ti / SiC nano-composite surface layer was found to be ~534 HV; this is 3.3 times higher than that of the commercially pure titanium substrate. No reaction was detected between SiC powders and the titanium matrix after friction stir processing.

Friction stir Processing is an important surface modifying technique to produce composite surface layer. This paper evaluates the effect of tool rotational speed, traverse speed and shoulder diameter on hardness and wear behavior of Al-B4C surface nano composite produced by FSP method. A Five level rotatable central composite design is used to predict the optimum input process parameters to fabricate the sound composite layer. Response surface methodology (RSM) Technique was used for analyzing the relationship between responses and process parameters. The results revealed that the shoulder diameter has more influence on achieving maximum hardness and wear resistance. To study the wear mechanisms, the selected wear worn out samples are analyzed through SEM studies

AZ80/Al composite plate was fabricated by means of friction stir processing (FSP) aimed at the improvement of corrosion resistance of magnesium alloy. The cross-section microstructure, surface morphology and corrosion resistance of the Al composite layer were investigated. The experiment results indicated that a dense composite Al layer with superfine and uniform grains was formed, and a few amount of intermetallic compounds existed in the area of Mg/Al interface. The bonding strength of AZ80 magnesium alloy substrate and 1060 pure Al layer was proved to be high which was resulted from the metallurgical bonding of FSP. Microhardness measurement showed the continuous changing of microhardness values from the outmost surface of composite Al layer to the magnesium alloy substrate. Results of electrochemical corrosion test of the composite plate in 5 wt.% NaCl solution showed the better protection effect of the composite Al layer on the magnesium alloy in a corrosion medium. Almost the same corrosion level on the whole corrosion surface was observed which indicated the highly uniform microstructure of the composite layer. It was also proved that the plain arches on the outmost surface of the composite Al layer had no influence on the corrosion resistance of composite Al layer.

Friction stir processing (FSP) is an effective tool to produce a surface composite layer with enhanced mechanical properties and modified microstructure of as-cast and sheet metals. In the present work, the mechanical and microstructural properties of as-cast AZ 91 magnesium alloy were enhanced by FSP and an AZ 91/ SiC surface nanocomposite layer has been produced using 30 nm SiC particles. Effect of the FSP pass number on the microstructure, grain size, microhardness, and powder distributing pattern of the surface developed has been investigated. The developed surface nanocomposite layer presents a higher hardness, an ultra fine grain size and a better homogeneity. Results show that, increasing the number of FSP passes enhances distribution of nano-sized SiC particles in the AZ 91 matrix, decreases the grain size, and increases the hardness significantly. Also, changing of the tool rotating direction results much uniform distribution of the SiC particles, finer grains, and a little higher hardness.
