Abstract

Friction stir processing (FSP) is a solid-state processing technique that has proven to be an efficient surface modification process for producing aluminium matrix composites (AMCs). However, practical challenges still occur during the processing of AMCs even though extensive progress has been made in recent years. In the present study, the influence of FSP process parameters on the tensile property of Al-Ni-Fe composite has been investigated. The process parameters studied were rotational speed and advancing speed. The rotational speed varied between 600 and 1000 rpm while the advancing speed varied between 70 and 210 mm/min. The rotational speed was kept constant at each setting and the advancing speed varied. Other processing parameters were kept constant throughout the experiments. The results were compared with those of the base metal (Al). The results showed that the tensile strength decreased as the advancing speed increased. The highest tensile strength was obtained at a rotational speed of 1000 rpm and an advancing speed of 70 mm/min.
