Surface composites

Surface composites

The addition of reinforcement into the surface instead of bulk improves mechanical properties and boosts the surface properties of the composite. Friction stir processing (FSP) is a solid-state processing route for the fabrication of surface composite. Compared to the conventional liquid state processing route, the FSP is a compatible and energy-efficient process for fabricating surface composites. The FSP is a variant of the friction stir welding (FSW) process, carried out at a lower temperature than the base metal’s melting temperature.
