Abstract
In this study, a novel method of mechanical interlocking of super-thin stainless steel strands with different aluminum alloys was conducted by using friction stir forming (FSF). The potential for the development of a multi-functional composite material was studied experimentally. It was concluded that FSF can successfully interlock stainless steel strands and different Al alloys and presents the possibility of improving the mechanical properties of the alloy. Trials of FSF were carried out on a modified vertical milling machine. The results are discussed in terms of microstructure observations, hardness distributions and tensile tests.
