A New Approach in Surface Modification and Surface Hardening of Aluminum Alloys Using Friction Stir Process: Cu-Reinforced AA5083

In the current study, a new approach for surface modification and surface hardening of aluminum alloys is developed. The method is based on the logic of in-situ reinforcing FSP strategies. The novelty of the proposed process is the application of a bulk reinforcing metallic material instead of metal...
