“…Few studies on the production and characterization of AMCs using FSP were reported in the literature recently [14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23]. Kurt et al [14] has produced AA1050/SiC AMC using FSP and have reported that increasing tool rotational speed and traverse speed caused a more uniform distribution of SiC particles.…”

“…Gandra et al [16] prepared AA5083/SiC AMC using FSP and studied the effect of groove offset on the distribution of ceramic particles. Qu et al [17] developed AA6061/Al 2 O 3 and AA6061/SiC nano AMCs using FSP, obtained an improved wear resistance. Raaft et al [18] fabricated A390/graphite and A390/Al 2 O 3 AMCs using FSP and observed that an increase in tool rotational speed enhanced the hardness of the composite.…”

“…Qu et al (215) used FSP to stir and mix submicrosized Al 2 O 3 and SiC particles into the surface of an AA6061-T651 plate to form a composite layer up to 3 mm thick, achieving a concentration of the ceramic phase in the range of 20-30 vol.%. The FSP-formed composite surface exhibited remarkable friction and wear reductions, as compared with a nonprocessed aluminum, respectively by 40% and 90%, and post-FSP heat treatment generated further enhancement of the wear resistance.…”

In this investigation, nano-sized cerium oxide (CeO 2 ) and silicon carbide (SiC) particles were stirred and mixed into the surface of an Al5083 alloy rolled plate using friction stir processing (FSP) to form a surface nano-composite layer. For this purpose, various volume ratios of the reinforcements either separately or in the combined form were packed into a pre-machined groove on the surface of the plate. Microstructural features, mechanical properties, and corrosion behavior of the resultant surface composites were determined. Microstructural analysis, optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy, showed that reinforcement particles were fairly dispersed inside the stir zone and grain refinement was gained. Compared with the base alloy, all of the FSP composites showed higher hardness and tensile strength values with the maximum being obtained for the composite containing 100% SiC particles, i.e., Al5083/SiC. The corrosion behavior of the samples was studied by conducting potentiodynamic polarization tests and assessed in terms of corrosion potential, pitting potential, and passivation range. The result shows a significant increase in corrosion resistance of the base alloy; i.e., the longest passivation range when CeO 2 alone was incorporated into the surface by acting as cathodic inhibitors. Composites reinforced with SiC particles exhibited lower pitting resistance due to the formation of microgalvanic couples between cathodic SiC particles and anodic aluminum matrix. The study was aimed to fabricate metal matrix surface composites with improved hardness, tensile strength, and corrosion resistance by the incorporation of CeO 2 and SiC reinforcement particles into the surface of Al5083 base alloy. Optimum mechanical properties and corrosion resistance were obtained for the FSP composite Al5083/(75%CeO 2 + 25%SiC). In this particular FSP composite, hardness and tensile strength were increased by 30, and 14%, respectively, and passivation range was increased to 0.19 V/SCE compared to the base alloy with no passivation range.
