Abstract
Abstract This study explores integrating AlCoCrFeNiSi high-entropy alloy (HEA) particles into the Al5083 aluminum alloy matrix via Friction Stir Processing (FSP) to enhance mechanical characteristics. Microstructural analysis reveals a homogeneous distribution and size reduction of HEA particles, contributing to improved structural strength. X-ray diffraction (XRD) examination confirms the formation of solid solution phases in the HEA particles, validating their role in enhancing material properties. Through the utilization of Design of Experiments (DOE) and Response Surface Methodology (RSM), FSP parameters are systematically optimized, enabling precise predictions of mechanical behavior. Multi-response optimization identifies the optimal combination of FSP parameters, resulting in significant enhancements in Ultimate Tensile Strength (UTS) and Hardness, reaching 314 MPa, 42% elongation, and 75 HV, respectively. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) analysis of tensile test specimens elucidates the impact of varied FSP parameters on microstructural features, emphasizing the importance of optimal mixing for improving interfacial bonding and mechanical properties. This study underscores the effectiveness of integrating HEA particles and optimizing FSP parameters to elevate the mechanical properties of Al5083 aluminum alloy, paving the way for tailored composite materials with enhanced performance for specific applications.
