Friction stir welding (FSW), a highly efficient solid-state joining technique, has been termed
as “green” technology due to its energy efficiency and environment friendliness. It is an …

Friction stir processing (FSP) is a novel solid-phase processing technique that is derived
from friction stir welding (FSW). The microstructure of the base metal can be modified with …

Friction stir welding (FSW) is becoming an essential welding technique in the aerospace
industry. However, friction stir welds are usually weaker than the parent material. The …

Samples with one through three passes with 100% overlap were created using friction stir
processing (FSP) in order to locally modify the microstructure and mechanical properties of a …

Microstructural evolution during hot forming of aluminium alloys plays a critical role in both
the material flow behaviour during the deformation and the post-form mechanical properties …

The ductility of Al alloys is dictated by the nucleation, growth and coalescence of small
internal voids originating from intermetallic particle fracture and from the presence of pre …

In this paper, the grain refinement of a 5052 aluminum alloy was achieved using two
different fabrication approaches. In the first approach, the grains in the investigated alloy …

In this research, the effect of pre-heat treatment of mechtrod and post-processing heat
treatment of coating on the microstructure and corrosion behavior of the nickel-aluminide …

In the present work, an aluminum metal matrix reinforced with (Al2O3) nanoparticles was
fabricated as a surface composite sheet using friction stir processing (FSP). The effects of …
