摘要
Friction stir processing (FSP) was used to fabricate AZ31/Al2O3 nanocomposites for surface applications. The effects of probe profile, rotational speed and the number of FSP passes on nanoparticle distribution and matrix microstructure were studied. The grain refinement of matrix and improved distribution of nanoparticles were obtained after each FSP pass. By increasing the rotational speed, as a result of greater heat input, grain size of the base alloy increased and simultaneously more shattering effect of rotation, cause a better nanoparticle distribution. The average grain size of matrix of the composites was in the range of 1-5 mu m and the microhardness of them was 85-92 Hv. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
