In the current study, the surface composite sheet of AA2024/al203 has been fabricated using friction stir processing technique. The processing parameters during fabrication process; such as rotation speed, travel speed and number of passes have been investigated. The number of passes has a significant effect on the mechanical properties through tensile test. The results revealed that tensile strength improved with increasing passes number.Copy Right, IJAR, 2016,. All rights reserved. …………………………………………………………………………………………………….... Introduction:-Increasing demand for improving the properties of surfaces in order to meet with design and functional requirements. Friction stir processing (FSP) is one of the techniques for fabricating surface composites and modifying microstructural features, furthermore the improvement of mechanical properties. Process parameters are the key art of Friction Stir Processing. The stirring conditions (rotational and translational speeds) are important issues in FSP to obtain the desired mechanical properties.Many researchers were discussed the relation between the process parameters and the quality of welded or processed metals according to [ 1,2,3,4 ]. The Tensile strength is found to be increased with increasing the rotational speed up to specified limit for AA6351 Al alloys as reported by [ 5 ].The tensile properties and fracture locations have been investigated by many authors [ 6,7,8 ] they are fabricated metal sheets alloy using FSP. The results are revealed that the rotational speed has a significant influence on the tensile strength as a result of improving grain refinement of the material. The mechanisms of particle refinement during FSP of pure Al, and the effect of various processing parameters on the particle refinement have been studied by [ 9 ]. The investigators reported, that amount of heat generation during FSP was increased when rotational speed increase and decrease when transverse speed increase. Fabricating AA1050/SiC surface composite using FSP technique has been investigated by [ 10 ] the author concluded that , the formation of defects are causing at higher tool rotational speeds. The surface composite sheets are investigated by [ 11,12,13,14,15,16 ], they are concluded that tool rotation speed has a major effect on the mechanical properties and microstructure refinement.The effect of multi-pass FSP on the, microstructure, micro hardness and tensile strength on the metal alloy and composites have been studied by [ 17,18,19,20,21,22 ].Multi pass FSP not only improve the mechanical properties , but also get defect-free weld through adjusting the Welding parameters, including tool rotation rate, traverse speed, spindle tilt angle, and target depth [ 23 ] . multi-pass with even step (2, 4 up to 8-pass) FSP with 100% overlap was performed by [ 24 ] The results reported that multi-pass FSP were improved tensile properties of composites including UTS, yield strength (YS) and elongation. The authors were reasoned this improvement because of reduced

“…Some studies have demonstrated the effect of grain size on the mechanical properties of FSW welds [41,51,52,55], in which more refined grains obtained in SZ lead to an increase of hardness. However, Salih et al found that the micro-hardness in the nuggets (with the lowest grain size) is lower than that in base material [17], which is in disagreement with the Hall-Petch relationship. It is very possible that distribution of hardening phases exerts a significant influence on the micro-hardness.…”

Friction stir welding (FSW) is well recognized as a very practical technology for joining magnesium alloys. Although, a large amount of progress have been made on the FSW of magnesium alloys, it should be emphasized that many challenges still remain in joining magnesium using FSW. In this article, we briefly review the background of friction stir welding of magnesium alloys, and then focus on the effects of the friction stir welding on the macrostructure, microstructure evolution, texture distribution, and the mechanical properties of the welding joints. The macro-defects in welds and their relationship to the welding parameters such as welding speed, rotation speed, and axial force were also discussed. The review concluded with some suggested methods improvement and future challenges related to FSW of magnesium alloys. The purpose of the present review paper is to fully understand the relationships between the microstructure and the properties, and then establish a global, state-of-the-art FSW of magnesium alloys.

“…Micro particles of reinforced particles precipitate on grain boundary and prevent grain growth hence fine grain structure. Homogenous dispersion of SiC particles in base metal and good bonding between SiC particles and base metal resulted in increase of ultimate tensile strength of composite material [5].…”
