Friction stir processing (FSP) is an emerging method for improving surface properties of materials by composite fabrication. This study aims at optimizing the major FSP parameters and analysis of their real-time influence on the mechanical performance of a surface composite fabricated with Magnesium (Mg) matrix and Titanium Carbide (TiC) as reinforcement. Effects of different process parameters, tool rotational speed, plunge depth, the linear speed of the tool, cooling condition, and number of FSP passes have been examined. Using L27 array, a total of 27 combinations of these process parameters were analyzed by taking microhardness as an output response to find influential parameters by Taguchi's technique. Maximum micro-hardness was achieved when tool rpm of 600, cooling temperature of -10o C, tool feed of 15 mm/min, plunge depth of 0.35 mm, and 3 passes of FSP tool were chosen with the help of Taguchi's method. Analysis of variance indicated that cooling temperature, the tool feed, and the number of passes of the FSP tool were the most significant parameters.

In this study, the influence of friction stir processing process parameters (FSP), such as tool rotational speed, tool traverse speed, and the tool tilt angle on the mechanical properties of Sic reinforced surface magnesium rare earth ZE41 alloy composite was studied. The process was carried at tool rotational speeds of 710, 900, 1120, 1600, 1400 and 1800 rpm, tool traverse speeds of 16, 25, 40 and 63 mm/min and tool tilt angle of degree 1. Nano-particles of SiC (40 microns) were used as reinforcements to produce a composite surface. The grain refinement of the processed specimens was analyzed using scanning electron microscope. It is observed from the results that FSP process parameters influenced the surface composite area, SiC particles distribution and micro hardness of the composite. The outcomes indicated that the higher micro hardness was obtained at rotational speed of 1100 RPM, traverse speed 40mm/min and tilt angle 10 .

Surface Composites

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.

A novel aluminium matrix surface composite added Al -based amorphous, whose layer depth was 5 mm, was fabricated by friction stir processing (FSP), at an air cooling. The surface composite region shows the obvious sandwich structure. It is considered to be a combination between the base metal and the amorphous strip via the FSP. The average hardness of the surface composite is about HV97, higher than the base metal is about HV80. The maximum tensile strength of the processed aluminium plate with the surface composite is 410 MPa. XRD results indicate that the constituent phases of the surface composite mainly include α- Al , Mg2Al3 , MnAl6 and La3Al11 Moreover, no obvious amorphous diffraction peaks are observed in the XRD results. However, a large number of ultrafine grained structures can be observed in the surface composite. The average grain size of them is ~90–400 nm constitutes the surface composite. These ultrafine grained structures are composed of the α- Al and α- Al amorphous structures.
