Experimental Investigation of FSW on Al 6061-T6 MG Dissimilar Joints
Abstract: Friction Stir Welding (FSW) is a solid-state joining technique that has shown significant potential for welding dissimilar materials, such as aluminum and magnesium alloys, which are difficult to join using conventional fusion welding methods due to large differences in their physical, thermal, and metallurgical properties. During FSW, contact between the rotating, wear-resistant tool shoulder, the pin, and the work piece produces frictional energy. Additional thermal energy develops because of intense …

Mechanical and Microstructure Properties of Al and SiC Reinforced Aluminum-Based Metal Matrix Composite
Abstract: It is becoming increasingly difficult to design new technical materials that are resistant to wear damage and corrosion degradation in severe service circumstances. Unfortunately, even with crucial passive metals, like Al alloys, there is often a compromise between wear and corrosion resistance. Because of the unfavorable galvanic connection between the precipitates and the matrix, precipitates not only harden the material but also accelerate corrosion. This research established that a supersaturated …
