In this study, the environmentally friendly friction stir processing (FSP) method was utilized to fabricate surface composites employing technical aluminum matrix 1050-H14 and aluminum alloy 6060-T4 reinforced with silicon carbide (SiC) particles. Microstructure analysis, employing light and scanning electron microscopy, in conjunction with comprehensive evaluations of hardness, compressive strength, and tribological properties, was conducted to elucidate significant findings. The results reveal that an augmented number of FSP passes contributes to the homogenization of microstructure, leading to the alteration of SiC particle morphology and fragmentation. Consequently, this phenomenon results in improved mechanical properties, particularly noteworthy in the case of AA6060-T4 alloy matrix composites, and enhanced wear resistance. Both AA1050-SiC and AA6060-SiC composites demonstrate notable increases in compressive strength compared to their unreinforced matrices. Particularly noteworthy is the substantial enhancement in compressive strength observed in the AA6060-SiCp composite, escalating from 249 to 331 MPa (at ε = 0.1) and from 398 to 715 MPa (at ε = 0.2) with an increase in the number of FSP passes. Additionally, FSP’s ability to precisely control process parameters such as tool rotational speed and traverse speed allows for the optimization of mechanical properties and microstructural characteristics tailored to specific application requirements. This study highlights the potential of FSP in fabricating high-performance aluminum matrix composites with superior strength and wear resistance, positioning it as a viable technique for advanced engineering applications. The environmentally friendly nature of FSP, due to its solid-state operation and reduced energy consumption, further underscores its suitability for sustainable manufacturing practices.
