PurposeThe objective of the paper is to evaluate the fabrication process and to study the influence of process parameters of friction stir processing of 6061-TiB2-Al2O3 Aluminum alloy surface composite on microhardness tensile strength, and microstructure.Design/methodology/approachFriction stir processing method is used for attaining the desired mechanical properties, and selectively processed reinforcements to fabricate the samples. The Taguchi technique was used to optimize rotational speed, travel speed and volume percentage of reinforcement particles to enhance the mechanical properties of 6061-TiB2-Al2O3 Aluminum alloy composite.FindingsThe fabrication of surface composites through FSP allows new inventions in terms of material with enhanced surface layers without changing the base metal.Practical implicationsTo examine the behavior of the surface of the composites in the different zones, the practical implication consists of the use of different characterization techniques like optical microscopy and scanning microscopy for microstructural behavior and the measurement of hardness and tensile tests for mechanical behavior.Originality/valueThe research work consists of tool design and process parameters, which can affect the final product (microstructural changes), and the performance of the modified surface layer behavior was studied and presented.

Friction Stir

In recent years, remarkable interest has been focused on the Friction Stir Welding (FSW) process, by academic as well as industrial research groups. Conceptually, the FSW process is quite simple: a non-consumable rotating tool is plunged between the adjoining edges of the parts to be welded and moved along the desired weld line. Frictional and viscous heat generation increases the work piece temperature, softening the processing material and forcing it to flow around the pin. Although FSW has been effectively applied in welding of several materials, such as copper, steel, magnesium, and titanium, considerable attention is still focused on aluminum welding, in particular for transport applications. Recent literature clearly evidenced microstructural variations in the stir zone, imputable to continuous dynamic recrystallization phenomena, leading to the formation of a finer equiaxed grains. Moreover, depending on the specific alloy, thermal cycles can induce coarsening or dissolution of precipitates in the thermo-mechanically affected zone (TMAZ) and in the heat affected zone (HAZ). The influence of the aforementioned microstructural aspects on mechanical properties and formability of FSWed assemblies is also well recognized. The aim of this paper is to numerically and experimentally investigate the influence of process parameters, namely rotating speed and welding speed, on microstructural aspects in AA2024-T3 friction stir butt welds. A three-dimensional Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) model has been implemented to simulate the process. A viscoplastic material model, based on Wright and Sheppard modification of the constitutive model initially proposed by Sellars and Tegart has been implemented in the commercial package ANSYS CFX, considering an Eulerian framework. Tool-workpiece interaction has been modeled assuming partial sticking/sliding condition, and incorporating both frictional and viscous contributions to the heat generation. Microstructural aspects have been numerically predicted using the Zenner-Holloman parameter and experimentally measured by means of conventional metallographic techniques. Satisfactory agreement has been found between simulated and experimental results. The influence of process parameters on mechanical properties has also been highlighted.
