TL;DR: In this article, the effects of friction stir processing (FSP) on properties of Mg-SiC nanocomposite were discussed with respect to rotational speed, traverse rate, and number of passes on the nanocomposition.
Abstract: The present paper discusses the effects of friction stir processing (FSP) on properties of Mg–SiC nanocomposite. The magnesium-based RZ5 alloy, widely used for aerospace applications, was used in the present investigation as the matrix for the purpose of nanocomposite fabrication. SiC powders of nanosize were reinforced into the RZ5 matrix by FSP with varying process parameters. The process was studied with respect to the effects of parameters such as rotational speed, traverse rate, and number of passes on the nanocomposite. With appropriate parameters, uniform distribution of nanoSiC reinforcements was accomplished in the metal matrix. The abrasive wear property of the Mg–SiC nanocomposite was verified with respect to the FSP process parameters. A mathematical model was also developed to predict the strength and abrasive wear characteristics of the nanocomposite with respect to the FSP parameters.

TL;DR: In this article, a non-equilibrium particulate composite was developed by incorporating and retaining in elemental state in an aluminium matrix by friction stir processing, which was stable up to a temperature of more than 300°C.
Abstract: Copper particles were incorporated and retained in elemental state in an aluminium matrix by friction stir processing thereby producing a non-equilibrium particulate composite. The processed Al–Cup composite exhibited improved strength with significantly high ductility. The composite was stable up to a temperature of more than 300°C. Thermal exposure at 350°C for more than 10 min led to diffusion of Cu atoms into the Al matrix forming a core-shell type structure in the Cu particles and thus producing an Al–Cu core-shell composite. The shell consists of multiple layers, the thickness of which was controllable.

TL;DR: In this article, friction stir processing was employed to modify commercial dual certified AISI 304/304L austenitic stainless steel plates and the cavitation erosion behavior of the processed plates was evaluated and compared to that of the unprocessed steel.
