Abstract

In this study, zircon sand (ZrSiO4)-reinforced aluminum surface composite up to 15 vol % of microparticles with an average diameter of 3 µm was prepared through multi-pass FSP. The microstructural, mechanical and tribological characterizations of the friction stir-processed ZrSiO4/A4047 surface composite were evaluated. The effects of FSP passes (2, 4 and 6) were evaluated, and it suggests that the surface composite after 6-pass reveals better homogeneous distribution of reinforcement (ZrSiO4) particle in the matrix. The tensile test showed 16, 24 and 44% with increase in FSP passes, respectively, compared to the base metal. Similarly, the microhardness of the surface composite produced through 6-pass FSP was increased to 112 HV while that produced through base metal increased to 74 HV. Also, it was observed that erosion–corrosion resistance and abrasion wear performance were significantly improved with increase in FSP passes.
