Metal Matrix Composites by Friction Stir Processing discusses the capabilities of utilizing friction stir processing (FSP) as a tool to manufacture new materials such as composites. Friction stir processing has been primarily looked at as a tool for grain refinement. However, this work illustrates how Friction Stir Processing has a wider capability due to the material flow and material mixing that the process offers. This book highlights such aspects by demonstrating the ability of the process to incorporate a second phase and make metal matrix composites (MMCs). The book covers in detail the current research on processing MMCs by Friction Stir Processing. It also presents a novel approach of making ductile MMCs by FSP using metal particle reinforcements. Demonstration of how friction stir processing can be used to make metal matrix compositesIncludes a review of different approaches of making Metal Matrix Composites by Friction Stir ProcessingDemonstrates the utility of Friction Stir Processing in making new types of non-equilibrium ductile compositesProvides a comparison of properties of Friction Stir Processed composites to those of conventional Metal Matrix Composites INDICE: 1.
