Abstract
Modified friction stir channeling (MFSC) is a new approach for fabrication of a continuous, integral channel in monolithic Al plate, which is carried out in a single pass. This technique is derived from Friction Stir Processing (FSP). Tool profile and position of tool pin against work piece were designed differently from conventional Friction Stir Channeling (FSC) process. In MFSC, Fabricated channel with more regular shape than FSC process shows that the channel formation mechanism is different from FSC. So, in this study, in order to understand the formation of channel, material flow in MFSC is investigated using weakened tool pin technique. Moreover, one of the most important channel properties is width of channel. This characteristic affected the channel area and shape of the channel. Width of channel was unknown in FSC process. But in MFSC, a new region is investigated which determines the channel width.
