TL;DR: In this article, the cold formability of friction stir processed aluminum composites was evaluated by bendductility tests, and composites containing carbon nanotubes fractured during bending while those containing boron carbide particles survived.
Abstract: Cold formability of friction stir processed aluminum composites was evaluated by bend-ductility tests. Composites containing carbon nanotubes fractured during bending while those containing boron carbide particles survived; hybrid composites showed cracking but less than those containing solely nanotubes. Weak interfacial nanotube/aluminum bonding and in adequate nanotube distribution were found to be the possible reasons.

TL;DR: In this paper, a state of the art of aluminum matrix composite fabrication by friction stir processing route has been discussed with carefully mentioning the parameters associated with the process and microstructures and consequent mechanical properties of the composites have been evaluated.
Abstract: Aluminum matrix composites are widely used in aerospace, automotive industry and defense sector owing to its excellent weight-to-strength ratio. Friction stir processing has emerged as an excellent technique to produce particle reinforced as well as fiber reinforced aluminum matrix composites. This article is a state of the art of aluminum matrix composite fabrication by friction stir processing route. The fabrication procedure has been discussed with carefully mentioning the parameters associated with the process. Microstructures and consequent mechanical properties of the composites have been evaluated. Particular attention is given on the microstructural modification and strengthening mechanism. Also the wear and corrosion behavior of the composites has been discussed thoroughly. Finally, the article has been concluded with some suggestions toward future work.
