Abstract:Friction stir processing (FSP) with the overlapping method is the best approach for achieving bulk surface modification in metals and alloys. In the current study, a bulk-area processing region was created in aluminum alloys using FSP with pin overlapping. The grain size distribution and texture orientations have been examined using the electron backscattered diffraction technique. The findings revealed that the grain size distribution is uniform throughout the processed region, but the texture orientation is … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
