Surface composites of WE43 Mg alloy reinforced with TiC nanoparticles were successfully fabricated using friction stir processing. The effects of various tool profiles, tool rotation, and transverse speeds on the metallurgical and mechanical properties of as-received and WE43/TiC composites were comprehensively investigated. The dispersion of TiC nanoparticles was uniform throughout the stir zone. The square tool at 1700 rev min−1 rotational speed and 60 mm min−1 transverse speed produced the finest grain structure in the composites, exhibiting maximum microhardness (151.7 Hv), maximum nano-hardness (1.596 GPa), maximum elastic moduli (36.54 GPa), and minimum wear rate (0.0279 mm3 min−1). Conversely, a square tool at 800 rev min−1 and 60 mm min−1 transverse speed produced the best mechanical properties in the WE43 alloy.

“…The use of harder and stiffer reinforcements produced Mg-matrix surface composites with increased strength and improved resistance to corrosion and wear [22][23][24]. Additionally, the microstructure and properties of these composites were influenced by several FSP parameters, such as tool profiles, tool rotation and tool feeds, and tilt angle [25][26][27].…”

Magnesium matrix surface composites have been garnering attention due to their superior mechanical and corrosion resistance properties. An idea of facile fabrication of surface composite composed of nano-SiC reinforced WE43 matrix through friction stir processing was explored in this study. Also, the effects of tool geometries, tool rotations, and tool feeds on physicochemical, metallurgical, and mechanical properties were comprehensively investigated. Following characterization using XRD, FESEM, EDX, and OM tools, substrates were also tested for their microhardness, nanohardness, elasticity, and wear resistance properties. Uniform dispersion of SiC nanoparticles within the stir zone was evident. The square tool demonstrated the most promising results. Processing at 1700 rev/min and 60 mm/min with a square tool produced the finest grains in surface composites that exhibited exceptional microhardness (180.8 HV), nanohardness (1.867 GPa), elastic modulus (41.69 GPa), and wear resistance (0.0254 mm3/min). Besides it, WE43 substrates also exhibited superior mechanical properties when processed with a square tool at 800 rev/min and 60 mm/min. This research opens up new possibilities for the development of reliable magnesium matrix surface composites for multifunctional applications.

“…The results showed as the friction coefficient and average COF and also the wear rate and wear volume loss in the case of 6% Al alloying is less as compared to other composition. Zang et al 24 fabricated nano-ZrO 2 -reinforced AZ31 alloy composites by friction stir processing with three multi-passes and high rotation speeds. Kumar et al 25 studied on microstructure and mechanical properties of AZ31Mg alloy reinforced with various vol.% of ZrO 2 particle composites produced via stir casting process.…”

The objective of this research is to experimentally investigate the metallurgical, mechanical, and tribological behavior of [Formula: see text], SiC, and [Formula: see text] reinforced AZ31 magnesium metal matrix composite (MMC) fabricated via powder metallurgy process. Accordingly, the mixing of the powders was carried out through ball milling operation at various times with constant speeds. The compaction of the milled powder was carried out on hydraulic press at various compaction pressures. The improvement of the wear resistance performance at 10 and 5 vol.% SiC were revealed around 12.9% and 25.8%. The fracture mechanisms of the optimal specimen resulting from the compression test were studied under SEM observation and it revealed that both ductile and brittle fractures occurred. The results from the confirmation test revealed an improvement of 2.04 g/cm3, 13%, 110.35 MPa, and 1293.399 MPa for actual density, porosity, ultimate strength, and hardness, respectively. The uniform nature of particle distribution was observed in SEM micrograph under investigation of the microstructure of the sample. The average particle size of the sample was also obtained around 809.14 nm. The proposed material is expected to be useful for various automotive and aerospace applications precisely for pistons and wings of airplane in aerospace.
