The feasibility of producing fine-grained tubes via the novel concept of friction stir back
extrusion was investigated. A rotating tool is plunged into aluminium round bar specimens at
a selected feed rate, forcing the processed material radially outwards and thus forming
tubes. Preliminary results show that the process is capable of producing structurally-sound,
void-free tubes; optical microscopy clearly shows the presence of a stir zone, and grain size
measurements indicate significant refinement in the microstructure of the starting material.
