Metal matrix composites (MMC) have advantages over polymer matrix composites such as high stiffness and strength, high-temperature resistance, better abrasion resistance, creep resistance, resistance to degradation by fluids, dimensional stability, and non-flammability. Metal matrix composites are used for various applications in the automotive, aerospace and sporting goods industries. The primary objectives of the current research work encompass the fabrication of Metal Matrix Composites (MMCs) AZ31 with 0.5%, 1.0% and 1.5% zirconium boride (ZrB2) nano-powder by the stir casting process, followed by welding through Friction Stir Welding (FSW). The metallographic analysis was carried out on the weldments of all cases. The macroscopic and microscopic analysis confirmed the defect-free weld joint. Tensile and hardness tests were conducted to study the mechanical properties of the materials. The tensile strength and the percentage of elongation increased with the percentage of ZrB2. But, after 1.0% addition of nano particles the strength decreased. The same pattern had been observed in both base and welded samples. The defect-free welding joints were fabricated with an efficiency of 79.1%, 79.7% and 77.7% for the materials with 0.5%, 1.0% and 1.5% nano powder, respectively. EIS and PDP tests were conducted in 3.5% NaCl to study the corrosion behaviour of base and welded materials. The corrosion tests on the base MMC samples showed that the corrosion resistance increased after the addition of ZrB2 nanoparticles. In addition, the corrosion resistance of all the welded samples improved compared with their respective base materials.

In the field of structural engineering, the integration of smart materials and structural health monitoring (SHM) has given rise to self-sensing materials (SSM), leading to a paradigm shift in SHM. This paper focuses on the interplay between self-sensing capabilities and the piezoelectric properties of lead zirconate titanate (PZT) and barium titanate (BT) in aluminium components. Leveraging Friction Stir Processing (FSP), the study explores the synthesis and performance of self-sensing materials with embedded piezoelectric particles, potentially transforming structural engineering. The paper highlights FSP as a key methodology for incorporating piezoelectric particles into structural materials, showcasing its potential in developing self-sensing materials with enhanced functionalities. A specific focus is placed on integrating PZT and BT particles into AA2017-T451 aluminium parts using FSP, with metallographic assessments and mechanical property evaluations conducted to analyse particle distribution and concentration. This study shows how BT and PZT particles are incorporated into AA2017-T451 aluminium to create a self-sensing material that responds to external stimuli. Under cyclic loading, the self-sensing materials exhibit a linear load-electrical response correlation, with sensibility increasing at lower frequencies. Metallographic analysis shows homogeneous particle distribution, while PZT induces increased brittleness and brittle fractures. Yield strength remains relatively stable, but ultimate strength decreases post-FSP. Hardness variations indicate weaker bonding with PZT particles. Eddy's current testing aligns with hardness profiles, and sensorial characterization reveals a non-linear frequency-sensibility relationship, showcasing the SSMs' suitability for low-frequency applications, particularly with PZT embedment.
