Friction stir based welding and processing technologies - processes, parameters, microstructures and applications: A review

TL;DR: Friction stir welding (FSW) has achieved remarkable success in the joining and processing of aluminium alloys and other softer structural alloys, however, it has not been entirely successful in the manufacturing of different desired materials essential to meet the sophisticated green globe requirements as discussed by the authors.

Wear and mechanical properties of 6061-T6 aluminum alloy surface hybrid composites [(SiC + Gr) and (SiC + Al2O3)] fabricated by friction stir processing

TL;DR: In this article, the influence of tool rotational speed on wear and mechanical properties of aluminum alloy based surface hybrid composites fabricated via friction stir processing (FSP) was studied. But, it was not shown that the microhardness decreases when increasing the rotational speeds and showed a higher micro-hardness value in Al-SiC/Al2O3 surface hybrid composite due to presence and pining effect of hard SiC and Al 2O3 particles.

On the formation of onion rings in friction stir welds

TL;DR: In this paper, the formation of onion rings is found to be a geometric effect due to the fact that cylindrical sheets of material are extruded during each rotation of the tool and the cutting through the section of the material produces an apparent "Onion Rings".
