Abstract

Friction stir processing (FSP) is the process of modification for a surface microstructure of a material innovatively in a simple approach. This experimental work concentrated on magnesium alloy composites; modification of the surface layer was achieved by adding reinforcement particles effectively. Magnesium alloy AZ91D and the 8% reinforcement of titanium nitride (TiN) is processed through FSP. A bunch of blind holes are produced on the top surface of the AZ91D material for filling of the TiN powder particles during stirring action the reinforced particles are modified in the microstructure. The dry sliding wear test is effectively conducted by way of using the pin-on-disc apparatus. There were three composites’ samples such as AZ91D Mg, AZ91D Mg + TiN (Micro), and AZ91D Mg + TiN (Nano) and are taken to conduct the wear test expediently. The result of FSP reflected on the microhardness test and wear characters (coefficient of friction, wear rate, and wear resistance). Further, the optimization process is executed to optimize the process parameters for maximizing tensile and impact strengths. The sample joined with composite weldment of AZ91D Mg + TiN (Nano) was out performed by recording the low wear rate of 0.4632 10− 5 g/cm, high wear resistance of 2.712 10− 5 cm/g, high coefficient of friction of 0.812, and high microhardness at weldment as 212 HV. The maximum tensile strength of 210.94 MPa achieved in the sample which was FSP at 1000-rpm spindle speed and 5-kN axial force and maintained tool travel speed of 40 mm/min. The maximum impact strength of 24.37 J recorded at the FSP settings of 1000-rpm spindle speed and 6-kN axial force and maintained tool travel speed of 50 mm/min.
