Effect of Tool Shoulder-to-Pin Diameter Ratio (D/d) on the Mechanical Properties of Friction Stir Processed Mg-Micro Al2O3 Composite

The engineering industry uses magnesium as it is a low density to lightweight ratio material and able to replace the heavier material. Friction stir processing is an applicable method to modify the structural properties of the workpiece. H13 steel tools are produced into several tool parameters with...

Friction stir processing is an applicable method to modify the structural properties of the workpiece.
