This study investigated the microstructure, mechanical, and damping properties of a non-age-hardened Al alloy (5086) and an age-hardened Al alloy (7075) after friction stir processing (FSP). Microstructural analyses indicate that FSP led the grain refinement of samples, and the grains size decreased with the decrease in the tool rotation rate. Furthermore, FSP with low rotation rate promotes the η phase precipitation in the 7075 alloy, causing the micron-sized particles in the 5086 alloy to break up. After being subjected to FSP with low rotation rate, the 5086 and 7075 alloys exhibited excellent mechanical and damping properties. Such improved properties were ascribed to their equilibrium grain boundaries, fine grain, low density of dislocations, high fraction of high misorientation angle, and uniform particle distribution.

“…SMAs “are able to memorize or retain their previous form when subjected to certain stimulus such as thermomechanical or magnetic variations” [56]. They “can sense thermal or stress stimulus and exhibit actuation or some pre-determined response, enabling control of shape, strain, stiffness, natural frequency, damping and so on” [12]. …”

“…They found that most of the published work was dedicated to the production of aluminum metal matrix composites reinforced with long nickel-titanium SMA fiber/wire using different fabrication methods as presented in Table 1 [12]. The authors concluded that the existence of the interfacial diffusion and/or reaction layer is a chemical result between the matrix and fiber and is very important information in the adhesion state of the interface.…”

Embedding of fibers in materials has attracted serious attention from researchers and has become a new research trend. Such material structures are usually termed “smart” or more recently “nervous”. Materials can have the capability of sensing and responding to the surrounding environmental stimulus, in the former, and the capability of feeling multiple structural and external stimuli, while feeding information back to a controller for appropriate real-time action, in the latter. In this paper, embeddable fibers, embedding processes, and behavior of fiber-embedded metallic materials are reviewed. Particular emphasis has been given to embedding fiber Bragg grating (FBG) array sensors and piezo wires, because of their high potential to be used in nervous materials for structural health monitoring. Ultrasonic consolidation and laser-based layered manufacturing processes are discussed in detail because of their high potential to integrate fibers without disruption. In addition, current challenges associated with embedding fibers in metallic materials are highlighted and recommendations for future research work are set.

“…If the above mentioned recovery is a result of heating to the specified temperature, the shape memory effect is observed then. These alloys are classified as smart materials and are frequently used to fabricate smart composite structures [3][4][5][6][7][8]. Proposed method of smart fabrication of composite structures is based on thermal actuation of SMA fibers.…”
