“…A spinning tool is plunged into the base metal during the fabrication process and advanced at a constant rotational and translational speed. Subramani et al [35] investigated hybrid composite Al6061 and its reinforcements B4C and SiC p particles fabricated by friction stir processing (FSP) technique. The results indicated that the uniform distribution of SiC p /B4C elements in the A6061 matrix by FSP process and heat treatment could be advancing the mechanical possessions of samples.…”

Due to their excellent properties, the requirement for materials with higher characteristics has transformed primary alloy into composite materials. Composites are particularly essential for various applications in numerous engineering purposes because of their superior mechanical, physical, and machining qualities. Compared to traditional materials, aluminum composite has various advantages and superior characteristics. To reduce production costs and obtain the desired properties, the researchers developed a hybrid aluminum matrix composite (HAMC), an AMC with two or more types of reinforcement. Further studies were conducted to improve the qualities and manufacturing processes of composites to improve their properties. Various methods are available to HAMC manufacturing, and different manufacturing methods result in different characteristics of HAMC composites, viewed from physical properties, mechanical properties, and production cost. In addition, differences in the type, size, and amount of reinforcement produce various hybrid composite properties, especially in the physical properties, mechanical properties, and tribological behavior of HAMC. This work presents a comprehensive review of recent progress in HAMC study with various reinforcement particles, manufacturing techniques, physical, mechanical, and tribological properties of HAMC. On the other side, this work provides discussion for application, challenges, and future work conducted for HAMC development.

“…The dislocation moment was hindered (pinning effect) by nanoparticles (Karpasand et al , 2020; Li et al , 2017), a thermal mismatch between substrate and reinforcements (Guo et al , 2019) and a strengthening mechanism by grain refinement(Bai et al , 2022) was caused to improve mechanical properties. Mohammad et al revealed the same effect during the FSP of AZ31 in which different reinforcements were added (Subramani et al , 2021). Hybrid reinforcement showed more promising properties than mono reinforcement.…”

“…The ultimate tensile strength (UTS) and percentage elongation (EL) responses were analyzed and optimized by response surface methodology (RSM)-integrated grey relational analysis (GRA) analysis (Murugan and Ahmed, 2019). TOPSIS approach was used to optimize hardness and impact energy simultaneously (Suganeswaran et al, 2023). Uday et al used artificial neural network in conjugation with RSM for getting superlative output Rajamurugan 2023a, 2023b).…”

Purpose This paper aims to determine the optimum parametric settings for yielding superior mechanical properties, namely, ultimate tensile strength (UTS), yield strength (YS) and percentage elongation (EL) of AZ91D/AgNPs/TiO2 hybrid composite fabricated by friction stir processing. Design/methodology/approach An empirical model has been developed to govern crucial influencing parameters, namely, rotation speed (RS), tool transverse speed (TS), number of passes (NPS) and reinforcement fraction (RF) or weight percentage. Box Behnken design (BBD) with four input parameters and three levels of each parameter was used to design the experimental work, and analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to check the acceptability of the developed model. Desirability function analysis (DFA) for a multiresponse optimization approach is integrated with response surface methodology (RSM). The individual desirability index (IDI) was calculated for each response, and a composite desirability index (CDI) was obtained. The optimal parametric settings were determined based on maximum CDI values. A confirmation test is also performed to compare the actual and predicted values of responses. Findings The relationship between input parameters and output responses (UTS, YS, and EL) was investigated using the Box-Behnken design (BBD). Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) and nano-sized titanium dioxide (TiO2) enhanced the ultimate tensile strength and yield strength. It was observed that the inclusion of AgNPs led to an increase in ductility, while the increase in the weight fraction of TiO2 resulted in a decrease in ductility. Practical implications AZ91D/AgNPs/TiO2 hybrid composite finds enormous applications in biomedical implants, aerospace, sports and aerospace industries, especially where lightweight materials with high strength are critical. Originality/value In terms of optimum value through desirability, the experimental trials yield the following results: maximum value of UTS (318.369 MPa), maximum value of YS (200.120 MPa) and EL (7.610) at 1,021 rpm of RS, 70 mm/min of TS, 4 NPS and level 3 of RF.

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.
