Abstract
Friction stir Processing is an important surface modifying technique to produce composite surface layer. This paper evaluates the effect of tool rotational speed, traverse speed and shoulder diameter on hardness and wear behavior of Al-B4C surface nano composite produced by FSP method. A Five level rotatable central composite design is used to predict the optimum input process parameters to fabricate the sound composite layer. Response surface methodology (RSM) Technique was used for analyzing the relationship between responses and process parameters. The results revealed that the shoulder diameter has more influence on achieving maximum hardness and wear resistance. To study the wear mechanisms, the selected wear worn out samples are analyzed through SEM studies
