Abstract
Friction stir channeling (FSC) is a simple method for fabrication of a continuous, integral channel in a monolithic plate, which is carried out in a single pass. The fabricated channels can be applied in heat exchanger industry. In this study, a novel technique was introduced to produce channels in 6061 aluminum alloy which is named as Modified Friction Stir Channeling (MFSC). This technique is derived from Friction stir processing. In this technique, the tool profile and position of tool pin against work piece were designed differently from FSC process. Channels were fabricated with a very regular shape such as rectangular. Comparison between MFSC and FSC showed that fabricated channels, using MFSC process, had better properties relative to fabricated channels by FSC.
