Steel cuttings, holes and cracks always exist at the interfaces in the composite plate. Multi-pass friction stir processing (M-FSP) is proposed in this research to optimize the interface microstructure and the interface connection for the 1060Al/Q235 composite plate. Results show that the microstructures of 1060Al after M-FSP are fine and uniform owing to the strong stirring effect and recrystallization. Micro-defects formed by the welding can be repaired by the M-FSP. However, tunnel defects can also be formed in the matrix of aluminum by M-FSP, especially when the passes are one and two. The melting block and the melting lump in the composite plates are easy to become the source of crack. The shear strengths and the bending properties for the 1060Al/Q235 composite plate after M-FSP are the best when the passes are three, with the tool rotation speed of 1200 rpm and the forward speed of 60 mm/min. The optimized interfaces for the composite plate after M-FSP are mainly by the metallurgical bondings, with a certain thickness and discontinuous mechanical connections. Therefore, the crack extension stress is the largest and the mechanical properties are the best.

Friction stir processing (FSP) was employed to incorporate nano-sized SiC particles into the surface of AZ31 magnesium substrate in order to produce surface nanocomposite layers. Characterization of the microstructure of the processed layers exhibited powders agglomeration which was found to disperse with increasing the tool rotation speed/advancing speed ratio. A uniform distribution of SiC particles with a mean particle size of ~95 nm was achieved after second FSP passes. The matrix grain size was found to decrease by increasing the tool advancing speed and number of FSP passes; however, increasing the advancing speed resulted in introduction of defects which leads to tunnels. The micro hardness value of the composite layer with uniform distribution of nano-size SiC particles was found to be almost twice of that of the AZ31 substrate.

Friction Stir Welding (FSW) is a new method of welding process which is affordable and provide good quality. Aluminium 5083-7075 has been connected successfully by using friction stir welding (FSW) method into butt joint connection form. Tool rotation speed is one of the important parameters in FSW. The changes of rotation speed will affect the characteristics of mechanical properties and microstructure. The parameters of welding being used are welding speed of 29 mm/minutes by varying the speed rotation of 525 rpm, 680 rpm, 910 rpm, and 1555 rpm. In order to find out the mechanical strength of welds, tensile strength and hardness testing is done while finding out the microstructure will be done by using optical microscope and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). The result of the research showed that the highest tensile strength obtained at 910 rpm speed rotation about 244.85 MPa and the greatest hardness values was found on aluminium 5083 around the wheel zone area about 96 HV with rotary speed of 525 rpm. Then, the result of testing the macro and microstructure on all samples indicated defect which is seen as incomplete fusion and penetration causing the formation of onion rings. In other words, it is which showed that the result of stirring and tacking in the welding area is less than perfect.

Friction stir welding is a method developed for the welding of high-alloy aluminum materials which are difficult to combine with conventional welding methods. Friction stir welding of MS 63 (brass) plates used different tools (tapered cylindrical, tapered threaded cylindrical), tool rotational speeds (1040, 1500, 2080 rpm) and traverse speeds (30,45,75,113 mm.min−1). Tensile, bending, radiography and microstructure tests were carried out to determine the mechanical properties of brass plates joined by friction stir welding technique. Microstructure characterization studies were based on optical microscope and SEM analysis techniques. In addition, after joining operations, radiographs were taken to see the internal structure failure. Brass sheets were successfully joined to the forehead in the macrostructure study. In the evaluation of the microstructure, it was determined that there were four regions of base metal, thermomechanically affected zone (TMEB), heat-affected zone (HAZ) and stir zone. In both welding tools, the weld strength increased with increasing tool rotation speed. The particles in the stir zone are reduced by increasing of the tool rotation speed. Given the strength and % elongation values, the highest weld strength was achieved with tapered pin tool with a tool rotation speed of 1040 rpm and a tool feed speed of 113 min−1.
