Enhancing grain refinement and corrosion behavior in AZ31B magnesium alloy via stationary shoulder friction stir processing

Stationary shoulder friction stir processing (SSFSP) in thick AZ31B magnesium alloy was performed to refine the microstructure followed by evaluating corrosion behavior. The use of stationary shoulder exhibited low heat input and small temperature gradient across the thickness of stir zone (SZ). Mor...
