Comparative Analysis of the Fracture Surfaces for FSP and SFSP Processed EN AC 5083 Cast Aluminium Alloy

Article Preview

Abstract:

Cast aluminium alloys are widely utilized in various industrial applications due to their favourable properties. A comparative analysis of fracture surfaces for EN AC 5083 cast aluminium alloy specimens processed in a single-pass by friction stir processing (FSP) and submerged friction stir processing (SFSP) has been carried out in this paper. Fracture surface evaluation involves mechanical tensile tests, microscopic investigations using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) to analyse the microstructure, fracture characteristics and elemental composition of the processed material. The findings provide valuable insights into the fracture behaviour of EN AC 5083 aluminium alloy FSP and SFSP processed, contributing to further research on optimizing friction stir processing techniques in ambient and submerged process conditions.
