Abstract:Friction Stir Back Extrusion (FSBE) is a novel manufacturing process widely used to produce lightweight tubes with superior mechanical properties. This work aims to establish the optimum process parameters of the FSBE method to fabricate flaw-free small-scale magnesium microtubes from as-cast Mg-Zn-Zr-Re magnesium alloy. FSBE experimental trials in the light of the Taguchi optimization were attempted to optimize and develop relationships that can link the crucial process parameters, namely tool rotational rat… 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.
