Analysis of Friction and Wear Properties of 7075 Aluminum Alloy Modified by FSP

Abstract:

In this paper, the wear resistance of the different parameter (the tool rotation speed and feed speed) modified layer of the hot rolled 7075 aluminum alloy by the friction stir processing (FSP) were studied. The wear mechanism was explored by analyzing the surface morphologies of the modified layer after wear. The results showed that the wear resistance of 7075 aluminum alloy modified by FSP was superior to that of the base metal at different temperatures. The comprehensive wear resistance was better when the tool rotation speed and the feed speed were 500 rpm and 60 mm/min under different temperatures. Furthermore, the FSP parameters had a significant influence on the wear resistance of the modified layer. When the FSP parameters were too high or too low, the wear resistance would be reduced and the adhesive wear would appear. In addition, the modified layers obtained by different parameters received poor wear resistance when the temperature at high values.
