Abstract

In this study, The Friction Stir Processing (FSP) technique was applied for the development of surface composites of AZ61 magnesium alloy surface plates locally treated with stainless steel powder where the microstructure and the frictional properties behavior magnesium material were observed to evaluate effects of stainless steel powder secondary phase on surface mechanical properties of AZ61 Magnesium alloy. Tool rotational speed and travel speeds which were 1200rpm and 20mm/min respectively. from the results using FSP has been proved to be an effective way to improve the surface properties of metals and alloy.
