Abstract

Friction stir processing (FSP) is used to produce surface composites with the retainment of bulk properties. In the present study, FSP was utilized to incorporate nano particles of Boron carbide (B4C) and Titanium carbide (TiC) into the matrix of Al5083 alloy individually and in combined form in order to produce mono and hybrid surface composite layer. The FSPed regions were analyzed through scanning electron microscope (SEM) and XRD studies. Mechanical properties of the FSPed surface composites were evaluated through micro hardness and tensile tests. Wear characteristics of the composites were evaluated through pin on disc dry sliding wear test at sliding speed of 1 m/s and under the normal load ranging from 20 to 100 N in steps of 20 N. The mechanical and wear resistance properties of the composite were higher than the base alloy. Among the processed composites, Al–B4C composites have exhibited the highest hardness and tensile strength. However the hybrid composites (Al–B4C–TiC) have exhibited significant increase in wear resistance. Worn out surfaces and wear debris were analyzed through SEM studies.
