Abstract

The present study investigates the effect of process parameters like tool rotational speed and tool feed on the mechanical and tribological properties of friction stir processed AZ31B magnesium alloy. The experiments were conducted with 3 level 2 factors full factorial design with two replications. The responses were tensile strength, microhardness and wear. The results were analyzed with the help microstructures of the processed samples. The study reveals that, for all responses, the most significant influencing process parameter is the tool rotational speed.
