Abstract
In this study, SiC particles were incorporated by using Friction Stir Processing (FSP) into the 6351 aluminium alloy to form particulate composite materials. Sampels were subjected to constant rotational and traverse speeds of the FSP tool with and without SiC reinforcements. Microstructural observations were carried out by employing optical microscopy of the modifiedsurfaces. Mechanical properties were evaluated by tensile test on UTM. For the 100% overlapping, No.of passes caused grain modification in the processed zone. The tensile test results indicate an improvement of strength and Microhardness for Single Pass FSP samples and a reduction in the strength of FSP samples with increasing the No.of passes due to the dissolution of the hardening precipitates.
