Characterization of Friction Modified Processing – A Novel Tool for Enhancing Surface Properties in Cast Aluminium Alloys

Article Preview

Abstract:

Friction Modified Processing (FMP) is a novel solid state processing technique which can be used for microstructural modification of surface layers in metallic materials. The paper deals with the investigation of the influence of process parameters on the microstructure in the surface layer of a cast aluminum alloy. The FMP was conducted on a constructed welding machine equipped with appropriate devices (LOWSTIR and TermSTIR). The measurements of temperature in the stir zone were compared with a numerical model. Another model was developed to determine the quantitative relationships between mass of modified material and processing speeds over a wide experimental range. An exponential formula has been found to describe the relationship between mass of modified material and rotational speed. The evaluation of the traveling speed affecting the mass of the modified material was successfully approximated by linear functions.
