Abstract

In this work, a defect-free AA7050 (TiB2 + SiC) hybrid surface composites was fabricated using multipass friction stir processing (MPFSP). The metallurgical characterization of the MPFSP/(SiC + TiB2)/AA7050 was analyzed by optical and scanning electron microscopes (SEM), and mechanical properties including tensile strength and microhardness were evaluated. All hybrid aluminum metal composite (AMC) had higher tensile strength and hardness values compared to the AA7050. Nanoparticles and FSP passes were able to break the coarse and elongated dendrite structure of the AA7050 and generated a homogenous and fine-grain structure in the stir zone (SZ). Among the different hybrid AMCs, the 4P FSP (25% TiB2 + 75% SiC)/AA7050 composite exhibited the optimal dispersion of nanoparticles with a maximum tensile strength of 561 ± 7 MPa. The maximum hardness value of 4Pass FSP (25% TiB2, 75% SiC)/AA7050 at the SZ was 179 HV, whereas the minimum microhardness value (161 HV) was perceived for 4P FSP (100% TiB2)/AA7050. The maximum joint efficiency of 132.30% was perceived in 4P FSP (25% TiB2, 75% SiC)/AA7050, while minimum joint efficiency of 111.39% was perceived in the 4P FSP (100% TiB2)/AA7050.
