The origin of non-uniform microstructure and its effects on the mechanical properties of a friction stir processed Al–Mg alloy

Effects of nanometric inclusions on the microstructural characteristics and strengthening of a friction-stir processed aluminum–magnesium alloy

“…Therefore, it can be concluded that the material flow during FSP not only refines the grain structure but also alter the structure of the precipitates. Similar changes in the structure of precipitates have recently been reported for friction stir processed Al-Mg and Al-Mg-Si alloys [54][55][56][57].…”

Achieving ultrafine-grained ferrite structure in friction stir processed weld metal

“…Usually, the tool shoulder produced most of the heat at the top, and the bottom of the workpiece was in contact with a backplate which ated as a heat sink that lowered the peak temperature and reduced the time at high temperature [14,15]. Further, more sufficient dynamic recrystallization was achieved in the bottom of the processed zone due to the severe stirring action of the pin.…”

Microstructure and texture evolution during accumulative roll bonding of aluminium alloy AA5086

“…Different variations of SPD processes, e.g. equal channel angular pressing (ECAP), high pressure torsion (HPT), multi-axial forging (MAF), etc., have been successfully applied to fabricate UFG materials [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15]. Accumulative roll-bonding (ARB) is one such SPD process which has great potential for industrial scaling up since it does not need forming facilities with large load capacity [16].…”
