Friction stir processing is a novel process evolved to fabricate surface metal matrix composites. Rice husk ash (RHA) is an agro-industrial waste and by product of rice husk. The feasibility of incorporating RHA powder into aluminium alloy AA6061-0 as reinforcement particles to make surface matrix composite via FSP is reported in this paper. The optical micrographs revealed a homogeneous distribution of RHA particles which were well bonded with the matrix in both first and fourth-passes of the FSP due to mechanical stirring. Microhardness of the stir zone SZ with the RHA particles of I-pass increased to about 106 HV, 40% higher than that of the base material 66 HV by dispersed RHA particles.

Number Of Passes

Friction Stir Processing (FSP) technology was wielded to output the Al7075/ Al2O3 surface composite. The effects parameters of processing method on particle distribution have been studied. The microstructure and mechanical characteristics of the samples were examined using the optical microscope, SEM and hardness examination. Acquired consequences, showed that Al2O3 particles were in a good interior distribution inside the basement. This technique produced excellent bonding between the surface composite and the base material. On other hand the surface hardness was increased about 25% as compared with the substrate. In addition, grain matrix refinement and enhanced particle distribution were obtained after each FSP pass. Also the dispersion of Al2O3 particles in the stirred area became more homogeneous and the average hardness improved by increasing the number of passes.

Single Size

In this study, the change in microstructure and microhardness adjacent to the tool during the friction stir processing (FSP) of 6061-T6 extrusions was investigated. Results showed that the as-received extrusions contained Fe-rich constituent particles with two distinct size distributions: coarse particles in bands and finer particles in the matrix. After FSP, Fe-containing particles exhibited single-size distribution and the coarse particles appeared to be completely eliminated through refinement. Microhardness tests showed the presence of four distinct zones and that hardness increased progressively from the dynamically recrystallized closest to the tool, outward through two distinct zones to the base material. The similarities and differences between the results of this study and others in the literature are discussed in detail.

Using friction stir welding, the electronic container box and lid made from aluminium matrix composites with reinforcement of SiC particle (15 vol% SiCp/Al-MMCs) was welded successfully with T-joint. The temperature distribution of box during the process, mechanical property and microstructure of the joint as well as gas tightness of welded box was investigated. The experimental results indicated that the satisfactory T-joint can be obtained under appropriate friction stir welding parameters. During the welding process, the bottom center, which was used to place the electronic component, reached a quite lower temperature of 100°C. That can ensure safety of components in the box. After the welding process, the microstructure in stir zone was better than in base material due to the refining and homogeneous distribution of the SiC particles. The experimental results showed that the electronic container box after friction stir welding had gas tightness. The He-leakage rate was under 10-8 Pa•m3/s.

The Impact

In this work, aluminum/titanium carbide (Al/TiC) surface composite has been fabricated by friction stir processing using a novel modular Direct Particle Injection Tool (DPI–FSP). The tool has a unique feature wherein the TiC particles have been transferred from the tool itself by spring adjusted plunger movement into the matrix. The microstructural observations from optical and scanning electron microscope (SEM)-EDS results revealed the homogeneous distribution of particles in the stirred zone (SZ) and the thickness of the formed surface composite layer (SCL) is approximately 0.34[Formula: see text]mm. X-ray diffraction results confirmed that the particles are reinforced in the aluminum matrix, and no intermetallics have been formed in the composite. The microhardness of composite was increased from 68 to 135[Formula: see text]Hv, and the impact test results showed that the toughness was almost comparable to that of the base metal.
