Fabrication of Al5083/B4C surface composite by friction stir processing and its tribological characterization

Improved surface properties with the retainment of bulk properties are necessary for a component for enhanced wear characteristics. Friction stir processing (FSP) is used to produce such surface composites. Fabrication of 5083 aluminum alloy with reinforced layers of boron carbide (B4C) through FSP...
