Abstract

Friction stir processing (FSP) was conducted on an Al-Si casting alloy. The Si phase and Al grains of an Al-Si casting alloy were refined through FSP. Furthermore, FSP with high rotation rate led to the precipitation of Mg and Si atoms and the formation of Mg₂Si phase in the Al-Si alloy. Precipitation improved the low-strain damping capacity but deteriorates high-strain damping capacity of the FSP sample at room temperature. At low rotation rate, the FSP sample exhibited excellent high-temperature damping capacity mainly because of its fine grain structure and the low density of its pinning points. The plastic instability of the Al-Si alloy was eliminated by FSP because of the refinement of the Si phase. The increase in the strength of each FSP sample was attributed to the increase in second-phase and boundary strengthening effects. Thus, the mechanical properties and damping capacity of Al-Si were enhanced after FSP.
