A Review Paper on Friction Stir Processing on Aluminium Alloys
Abstract: Friction stir processing is a step from friction stir welding, targeted at surface modification through improving the local microstructure via localized plastic deformation. The tool consists of a rotating mechanism incorporating a shoulder and pin that are inserted into the material, traversing the designated area. When the tool's shoulder and the workpiece make contact, friction develops, generating heat that produces plastic deformation. This localized plastic deformation and heat impact result …
