Friction stir processing is an avant-garde technique of producing new surface composite or changing the different properties of a material through intense, solid-state localized material plastic deformation. This change in properties depends upon the deformation formed by inserting a non-consumable revolving tool into the workpiece and travels laterally through the workpiece. This research work highlights the effect of process parameters on mechanical properties of fabricated surface composites by friction stir processing. By using various reinforcing materials like Ti, SiC, B4C, Al2O3 with waste elements like waste eggshells, rice husks, coconut shell and coir will be used to fabricate the green composites which are environmentally friendly and reduces the problem of decomposition. The parameter for this experiment is considered as the reinforcing materials, tool rotation speed and tool tilt angle. The SiC/Al2O3/Ti along with eggshell are selected asreinforcement materials. The main effect of the reinforcement is to improve mechanical properties, like hardness, impact strength and strength. The results revealed that the process parameters significantly affect the mechanical properties of friction stir processed surface composites.

Friction Stir

Multipass friction stir processing (MP-FSP) is a solid-state surface modification technique, which was developed based on the simple principle of FSW. Aluminium plates were subjected to MP-FSP from 1 to 14 passes along the longitudinal direction with the specified process parameters such as rotational speed of 1000 rpm and travel speed of 70 mm/min and axial force of 15 kN. Subsequently, similar process parameters had followed by doublepass friction stir processing (DP-FSP) in order to help determine the effectiveness of multipass in creating high strength of aluminium alloys. Now-a-days extensive research had focused on various process parameters such as rotational speed, traverse speed, tool design on processing of aluminium alloys and proficiently enhanced material properties. This technique has considered mostly development of green technology, which is energy efficient and environment friendly technique. Experimentally proven that the Al-Zn-Mg-Sc alloys are characterized through OM, FESEM, DSC, SEM, TEM, and mechanical properties. The tensile strength and ductility of the MP-FSP specimen improved significantly to 122.48%, and 42.55% respectively, but hardness decline to 4.84% as compared to DP-FSP. This is due to not only for refinement of cast dendritic structure and eliminate segregation in the as-cast alloy, but also to the refining of grains, such as the uniform distribution of Al3Sc and hardening precipitates. To aim of this research work is to mainly focusing on MP-FSP may enhance mechanical properties better than DP-FSP and useful for macroscale applications.

Abstract Friction stir processing (FSP) is solid state novel technique developed to refine microstructure and to improve the mechanical properties and be used to fabricate the aluminium alloy matrix composites. An attempt is made to fabricate AA6061/TiB2 aluminium alloy composite (AMCs) and the influence of process parameters like rotational speed, transverse feed, axial load and percentage reinforcement on microstructure and mechanical properties were studied. The microstructural observations are carried out and revealed that the reinforcement particles (TiB2) were uniformly dispersed in the nugget zone. The Tensile strength and Hardness of composites were evaluated. It was observed that tensile strength, and hardness were increased with increased the rotational speed and percentage reinforcement of particles. The process parameters were optimized using Taguchi analysis (Single Variable) and Grey analysis (Multi Variable). The most influential parameter was rotational speed in single variable method and multi variable optimization method. The ANOVA also done to know the percentage contribution of each parameter.

Optimization Of Process Parameters

Friction Stir Welding is one of the technologies of joining solid states, which still attracts the researchers’ interest.  In welded joints the mechanical properties are affected by a number of mechanical properties of the joined materials and by the process parameters as well. In the present study, the effect of a number of friction stir welding parameters on the tensile strength of the welded joint have been investigated using the Taguchi method and the analysis of variance (ANOVA). The study considers different levels of friction stir welding variables; namely, different rotational speeds of (2000, 1600, 1250 rpm), different welding speeds (12.5, 16, 20 mm / min), and different welding tilt angles (0, 1, 2 degrees).  The optimum process parameters and their contribution rate were selected based on the Taguchi method for test design and by using the Minitab 16 program. In this study, the best results (i.e, higher tensile strength) were obtained at a rotational velocity of 1600 rpm, linear velocity of 16 mm / min, and welding angle, 1o. The highest tensile strength was obtained under these conditions.
