“…High hardness, high compressive strength, wear resistance, fracture toughness, uniform density, elevated temperature stability are some important aspects considered while selecting tool material. Tools made of some hot works steel such as SKD61 [29] and H13 [31][32][33][34] and other alloy steels such as MP159 [15], hardened HCHCr steel [35][36][37] and heattreated WC-Co (12%) [38] have been used for friction stirring of aluminum alloys to fabricate AMCs. Another important aspect while selecting tool material during composite fabrication is the wear out of tool by the hard reinforcement material.…”
Aluminum matrix composites are widely used in aerospace, automotive industry and defense sector owing to its excellent weight-to-strength ratio. Friction stir processing has emerged as an excellent technique to produce particle reinforced as well as fiber reinforced aluminum matrix composites. This article is a state of the art of aluminum matrix composite fabrication by friction stir processing route. The fabrication procedure has been discussed with carefully mentioning the parameters associated with the process. Microstructures and consequent mechanical properties of the composites have been evaluated. Particular attention is given on the microstructural modification and strengthening mechanism. Also the wear and corrosion behavior of the composites has been discussed thoroughly. Finally, the article has been concluded with some suggestions toward future work.

“…[7][8][9] FSP results in wider and deeper processed area, better mechanical properties and almost no porosity, intermetallics, and flash compared to the Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) processing. [10] Surface properties such as hardness and wear resistance also improve with FSP apart from no matrix-reinforcement interfacial reactions. [11][12][13] Surface composites can improve the corrosion resistance in chloride environment, where the reinforcement can be either ceramic (boron carbide (B 4 C), silicon carbide (SiC), alumina (Al 2 O 3 ) etc.…”
The study focuses on the effect of mono and combined addition of metallic and ceramic reinforcement particles on the microstructural and corrosion behavior of surface composites fabricated by friction stir processing. Molybdenum, possessing higher corrosion resistance compared to aluminum, is used as the metallic reinforcement, and boron carbide is used as ceramic reinforcement. Combined addition of boron carbide and molybdenum is used to study the effect of hybrid reinforcement on the corrosion behavior of Al 1050 surface composites. The effect of friction stir processing and reinforcement type on the electrochemical behavior of surface composites is analyzed through potentiodynamic polarization and impedance analysis. Reinforcement particles distributed on the Al matrix through friction stir processing affect the pitting corrosion behavior of surface composites. Post-corrosion microscopy analysis is carried out to understand the effect of the reinforcement particles on the pitting corrosion. The surface composites fabricated are free from any intermetallics. Surface composites with second processing pass showed better corrosion resistance due to more homogeneously distributed finer Mo particles in Al-Mo surface composites. Mono-reinforced surface composites exhibited an increase in the corrosion resistance, whereas the combined addition of reinforcements induced more galvanic effect in the surface composite leading to more severe corrosion.
“…In this technique the welding takes place lesser than melting temperature of the alloy therefore, the formation of brittle solidification is not easily formed. The principle of FSW is explained elsewhere [5][6][7]. Recent studies have shown that various reinforcements such as B 4 C, TiC, SiC, Y 2 O 3 , Al 2 O 3 , ZrB 2 , TiB 2, WC were used in fabricating of the Al matrix composite through FSW technique.…”
Recent Years Friction Stir Welding (FSW) is used for joining of metal matrix composites. In this study TiC nano particles were inserted as reinforcements in Al6082 alloy and friction stir welded with three different rotational speeds (750mm, 1000rpm & 1250rpm). The mechanical properties of the welded joints and base alloy were investigated. The specimen welded with 1000rpm rotational speed exhibited better tensile strength and hardness. The enhancement of weld strength is attributed to the uniform dispersion of nano reinforcement particles in the alloy.
