Friction Stir Processing of Aluminum Alloys (6063): A Review

Abstract

As we know aluminum and its different kinds of alloys are suffering from different kind of confines like high strength, cost, time used in production and also reduction in ductility.Material having fine and homogenous grain structure accompanied high ductility and high strength. That is why there is requirement arises from the development of a new and different technique which is useful to produce a material with a fine grain structure, high wear strength, ductility and fine grain structure. FSP (Friction Stir Processing) is a fresh and new method, but still in the research phase.
