Abstract

In this study, friction stir processing (FSP) was used to produce AA5083/ZrO2 nanocomposite layer. Optical microscopy and SEM were used to probe the microstructures formed in the composite layer. In addition, the mechanical properties of each sample are characterized using both tensile and hardness tests. Results showed that FSP is an effective process to fabricate AA5083/ZrO2 nanocomposite layer with uniform distribution of ZrO2 particles, good interfacial integrity, and significant grain refinement. On processing, in the proper combination of process parameters, the metal matrix composite layer was observed to have increased tensile and hardness properties.
