Abstract
:1. Introduction
2. Materials and Methods
3. Results
4. Discussions
5. Conclusions
- Friction stir processing results in grain refinement in the friction stir-processed samples, from an average grain size of 57 microns to 22 microns after the second pass, due to the thermally associated plastic deformation of the material. The grain refinement in the processed region increases the microhardness of the processed sample in comparison to the base metal.
- The surface properties of steel can be modified using friction stir processing due to the grain refinement and enhancement in microhardness; double pass friction stir processing further refines the grain size up to 22 microns and increases the microhardness (175 VHN) in comparison to single pass (172 VHN). But triple pass processing causes a little bit of coarsening of the grains and a reduction in microhardness (165 VHN) in comparison to double pass processing.
- The second pass-processed sample shows the maximum grain refinement due to the combined effects of large grain rotations and dynamic recrystallization near the high-angle grain boundaries.
