Rajeswaran3 Prist University,Thanjavur, Tamil Nadu, India Abstract: The mechanical and micro structural properties of of magnesium alloy resulting from the friction stir processing(FSP)were analysed in the present study the tensile properties were evaluated at room temperature in the longitudinal direction respect to the processing one and also performed at higher temperatures and different strain rates in the nests on parallel to the processing direction in order to analyse the super plastic properties of the recrystallized material and to observe the differences with the parent material as the function of the strong grain refinement due to the friction stir process the dynamic recrystallized structure of the material was observed by employing optical and electron microscopy. The high temperatures behaviour of the material was studied in the parallel direction by means of tensile test in the temperature and strain rate ranges of 150 - 300°C and 10 -2 to 10 -4 s - 1 respectively. the deformation behaviour in the high-temperature regime (275 to 300°C) is related to the grain boundary sliding (GBS)acting in the material parallel to the tensile direction, differing strongly from the lower temperature one in which the deformation is strongly link to grain triple junction fracture.

INTRODUCTION The following unique features of friction stirring is utilised to develop new processes: Friction stir processing is an emerging processing technique Low amount of heat generated, based on the principles of friction stir welding. Friction stir Extensive plastic flow of material, welding is a relatively new joining process developed initially Very fine grain size in the stirred region, for aluminium alloys, by The welding institute(TWI)of UK Random mis orientation of grain boundaries in stirred (Thomaset al., 1991). Friction stir processing is a method of region, changing properties of a metal through intense localised Mechanical mixing of the surface layer, plastic deformation. this information is produced by forcibly Large forging pressure inserting a non consumable to into the work piece and revolving the tool in stirring motion as it is pushed laterally Magnesium alloys are mixtures of magnesium and the other through the work piece. it is a solid state joining technique that metals( called an alloy),often aluminium, zinc, manganese, is energy efficient environment-friendly and versatile. It is silicon, copper, RAR exe and zirconium. Magnesium is the being touted as the most significant development in metal lightest structural metal. Magnesium alloys have a hexagonal joining in a decade. The basic concept of friction stir lattice structure which affect the fundamental properties of the processing is remarkably simple. A rotating tool with pin and alloys. Plastic deformation of the hexagonal lattice is more shoulder is inserted in the material to be joined and traversed complicated than in cubic latticed metals like aluminium, along the line of interest. The heating is localised and copper and steel. Therefore magnesium alloys are typically generated by friction between the two land the workpiece,with used as castalloys, but research of wrought alloys has been additional adiabatic heating from metal deformation. A more extensive since 2003.cast magnesium alloys are used for processed zone is produced by the movement of material from many components of modern cars and magnesium block the front of thepin to the back of the pin. As mentioned later engines have been used in some high performance vehicles; between and shoulder of the two can be modified in a number Cast magnesium alloys are used for many components of to ways to influence material flow and micro structural modern cars, and magnesium block engines have been used in evolution.

Properties Magnesium is a ductile silver-white, chemically active metal with hexagonal close packed crystalline structure. It is malleable when heated. It was very slowly with cold water. It is not affected by driver but tarnishes in moist air. A Magnesium fire cannot be extinguished by water, since water reacts with hot magnesium and releases hydrogen. Magnesium reacts with halogens and with almost all acids. It is a powerful reducing agent and is used to free other metals from their anhydrous halides.

    Preprints (www.preprints.org) | NOT PEER-REVIEWED | Posted: 22 July 2020 doi:10.20944/preprints202007.0514.v1 Review Review on Multi-Pass Friction Stir Processing of Aluminium Alloys Oritonda Muribwathoho1, Sipokazi Mabuwa1* and Velaphi Msomi1 1 Cape Peninsula University of Technology, Mechanical Engineering Department, Bellville, 7535, South Africa; [email protected]; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: 27 21 953 8778 Abstract: Aluminium alloys have evolved as suitable materials for automotive and aircraft industries due to their reduced weight, excellent fatigue properties, high-strength to weight ratio, high workability/formability, and corrosion resistance. Recently, the joining of similar and dissimilar metals have achieved huge success in various sectors. The processing of soft metals like aluminium, copper, iron and nickel have been fabricated using friction stir processing. Friction stir processing (FSP) is a microstructural modifying technique that uses the same principles as the friction stir welding technique. In the majority of studies on FSP, the effect of process parameters on the microstructure was characterized after a single pass. However, multiple passes of FSP is another method to further modify the microstructure in aluminium castings. This study is aimed at reviewing the impact of multi-pass friction stir processed joints of aluminium alloys and to identify a knowledge gap. From the literature that is available on multi-pass FSP, it has been observed that the majority of the literature focused on the processing of plates than the joints. There is limited literature reporting on multi-pass friction stir processed joints. This then creates a need to study further on multi-pass friction stir processing on dissimilar aluminium alloys.

JEGANATHAN, 5RANGANATH M. S INGARI 1, 2, 3, 4, 5Department of Mechanical Engineering, Delhi Technological University, Delhi, India Email: [email protected], [email protected] Abstract - High strength to weight ratio, light weight and various thermal, mechanical and recycling properties makes aluminium alloys an ideal choice for various industrial applications in sectors as varied as aeronautics, automotive, beverage containers, construction and energy transportation. Due to the rapid injection of molten aluminium into metal moulds under high pressure, casting defects and an abnormal structure, such as cold flake, are easily formed in the base metal. These defects significantly degrade the mechanical properties of the base metal. In order to satisfy the recent demands of advanced engineering applications, Aluminium matrix composites (AMCs) have emerged as a promising alternative. Among the various metal matrix composites manufacturing and forming methods, Friction Stir Processing (FSP) has gained recent attention. This work aims at analysing the microstructure, microhardness, tensile strength and wear properties of Al 6082/SiC composites fabricated by single, double and triple passes via FSP. The ultimate tensile strength of the processed material came out to be less than the parent material and the results showed that with the increase in the number of passes, the tensile properties of composites including ultimate tensile strength (UTS) and yield strength (YS) improved.

  • Improving the Performance of Magnesium Alloys for Automotive Applications
    High Performance and Optimum Design of Structures and Materials 531 Improving the performance of magnesium alloys for automotive applications R. O. Hussein & D. O. Northwood Department of Mechanical, Automotive and Materials Engineering, University of Windsor, Canada Abstract Magnesium and its alloys are attractive to the automotive industry for their inherent light-weight which leads to highly fuel-efficient design. However, due to a low melting temperature (650°C), magnesium has relatively poor elevated temperature mechanical properties, e.g., creep. This has, therefore, restricted its use in applications such as engine components. Magnesium is also a highly reactive metal and has inherently poor corrosion and wear resistance. Improved corrosion and wear performance can be obtained through alloying and microstructural engineering. However, for enhanced corrosion and tribological properties, the use of surface engineering techniques involving coatings is mandatory. Plasma Electrolytic Oxidation (PEO), also known as “Micro-Arc Oxidation (MAO)”, has been used to successfully produce oxide layers on magnesium alloys with excellent tribological and corrosion resistant properties. By controlling the PEO process parameters, uniform, relatively pore-free and well adhered coatings can be produced which can provide adequate corrosion protection. The coating requirements for good tribological properties are somewhat different than for good corrosion performance. However, good tribological performance combined with good corrosion performance can

    Available online at www.sciencedirect.com Journal of Magnesium and Alloys 1 (2013) 2e22 www.elsevier.com/journals/journal-of-magnesium-and-alloys/2213-9567 Full length article Magnesium casting technology for structural applications Alan A. Luo a,b,* a Department of Materials Science and Engineering, The Ohio State University, Columbus, OH, USA b Department of Integrated Systems Engineering, The Ohio State University, Columbus, OH, USA Abstract This paper summarizes the melting and casting processes for magnesium alloys. It also reviews the historical development of magnesium castings and their structural uses in the western world since 1921 when Dow began producing magnesium pistons. Magnesium casting technology was well developed during and after World War II, both in gravity sand and permanent mold casting as well as high-pressure die casting, for aerospace, defense and automotive applications. In the last 20 years, most of the development has been focused on thin-wall die casting ap- plications in the automotive industry, taking advantages of the excellent castability of modern magnesium alloys. Recently, the continued expansion of magnesium casting applications into automotive, defense, aerospace, electronics and power tools has led to the diversification of casting processes into vacuum die casting, low-pressure die casting, squeeze casting, lost foam casting, ablation casting as well as semi-solid casting. This paper will also review the historical, current and potential structural use of magnesium with a focus on automotive applications. The technical challenges of magnesium structural applications are also discussed. Increasing worldwide energy demand, environment protection and government regulations will stimulate more applications of lightweight magnesium castings in the next few decades.

ABSTRACT OF THESIS FRICTION STIR PROCESSING OF ALUMINUM ALLOYS Friction stir processing (FSP) is one of the new and promising thermomechanical processing techniques that alters the microstructural and mechanical properties of the material in single pass to achieve maximum performance with low production cost in less time using a simple and inexpensive tool. Preliminary studies of different FS processed alloys report the processed zone to contain fine grained, homogeneous and equiaxed microstructure. Several studies have been conducted to optimize the process and relate various process parameters like rotational and translational speeds to resulting microstructure. But there is only a little data reported on the effect of the process parameters on the forces generated during processing, and the resulting microstructure of aluminum alloys especially AA5052 which is a potential superplastic alloy. In the present work, sheets of aluminum alloys were friction stir processed under various combinations of rotational and translational speeds.

A cylindrical tool with threaded pin was used. the effect of FSP has been examined on sand casting hypereutectic pure AL. The influence of different processing parameters has been investigated at a fundamental level. Effect of (FSP) parameters such as transverse speed (86,189,393) mm/min, rotational speed (560,710, 900) rpm on microstructure and mechanical properties were studied. Different mechanical tests were conducted such as (tensile, microhardness and impact tests). Temperature distribution has been investigated by using infrared (IR) camera; the thermal images were analyzed to point out the temperature degree on limited points. The results show that the heat generation increase when rotational speed increase and decrease when transverse speed increase. Hardness and impact measurements were taken across the process zone( PZ), and tensile testing were carried out at room temperatures. After FSP, the microstructure of the cast pure Al was greatly refined. However, FSP caused very little changes to the hardness of the material, while tensile and impact properties were greatly improved.
