Aluminium and its alloys being low density materials are sought in wide variety of applications related to automotive and aerospace sector. Taking a cue from their light weight and good strength properties, lot of work has been carried out in the development composite materials using organic and ceramic reinforcements like graphite, TiC, SiC, Al2O3, TiB2, B4C and carbon nanotubes. Further, the current trend is using these reinforcements. The idea behind developing aluminium metal matrix composites is to overcome the drawbacks of unreinforced aluminium alloys and conventional aluminium metal matrix composites in order to improve mechanical, corrosion and tribological properties. In addition to this just adding reinforcement to the matrix material doesn't contribute to overall properties but understanding of processing techniques used for synthesis of composites have significant influence on these aforementioned properties. Fabrication of composites is usually done by conventional powder metallurgy or stir casting technique. So, in order to have composites with good properties a right combination of reinforcement and processing technique is very much important.In this study, Friction Stir Processing was employed to develop a composite layer on the surface of Aluminium Alloy(AA6082) using SiC particles(120 mesh). The effects of Rotational and Transverse speeds on the Surface Hardness of the Fric-tion stir processed layer is investigated. By this method, it is possible to enhance the surface hardness of the Aluminium alloy to even 3 times of the original value.

Presently for various engineering applications AA6061-T6 aluminum-magnesium alloys are widely preferred, which is due to its light weight and superior properties as compared to other aluminum alloys. The metal joining process is most complex in various industrial applications like automobile, aerospace, railway and marine. The Friction Stir Welding (FSW) of AA6061-T6 alloy has influenced substantial scientific and industrial importance, because it has a potential to transform the welded product with a good quality joint. In the present work AA6061-T6 alloy joined using FSW process. Observation has been made about material flow behavior and effect of process parameters on various mechanical properties and associated defects during FSW. From experimental results it can be concluded that FSW can be used to produce defect free welds, with better bending properties as compared to the welds produced by other conventional welding process.

“…In FSW different types of tool, pin profiles were used to join aluminum alloys. It has been observed that the tool rotational speed exhibits more influence on tensile strength in both the tools [14]. A new friction stir vibration welding (FSVW) method is applied to modify the conventional friction stir welding (FSW) process.…”

The two sheets of aluminum 6061-T6 alloy of size 200×150×3 (mm) are butt-welded by the friction stir welding process by varying the weld parameters such as rotational speed, tilt angle, and feed. The taguchi L9 experimental technique is used to draw the experimental conditions by taking the above said friction-stir welding process parameters.The temperature of the weld bead during the friction-stir welding is measured. The hardness of the weld bead is measured by using the hardness testing machine to find out the hardness value of the weld joints and on the base plates. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) analysis is performed to test the significance of the experimental model at 95% confidence interval.Optimality of the friction-stir welding process parameters for the butt welding of aluminum 6061-T6 alloy is obtained by using the multiple response desirability factors.
