Effect of Al2O3 and SiC Nano Reinforcements on Microstructure, Mechanical and Wear Properties of Surface Nanocomposites Fabricated by Friction Stir Processing
In this study, friction stir processing has been applied to fabricate Al/Al2O3 and Al/SiC surface nanocomposites.Nano sized Al2O3, and SiC particles were used as a reinforcement whereas 6061-T6 aluminum alloy was selected as matrix material.The experiments were conducted at constant process parameters (1150 rpm and 15 mm/min) with changing volume p
