dc.description.abstractThe present work describes the evolution of microstructure and enhancement of mechanical properties of friction stir welded AA6061/SiC/FA Hybrid AMCs (HAMCs). Various joints were produced using different traverse speed from 30 mm/min to 80 mm/min. Microstructural analysis was carried out using Optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. Mechanical characteristics such as ultimate tensile strength (UTS) and microhardness (Hv) were studied. Sound quality joints were obtained by FSW without any defects. Results showed that the microstructure zones are divided in to nugget zone, thermomechanically affected zone, heat affected zone and base material zone. Uniform and fine grain formation took place at traverse speed of 60 mm/min indicating sufficient amount of heat input at this speed. Accordingly maximum joint efficiency of 90% is obtained at this traverse speed. © 2020 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
