About this workshop
Friction stir processing (FSP) is considered as the one of the most
significant developments for materials processing in the last decade.
In the relatively short duration after its invention, FSP has found
widespread applications in fabrication, processing and synthesis of
metallic materials. The process has been used as a generic tool for
grain
refinement,
microstructure
homogenization,
property
enhancement in cast alloys and composite fabrication including
surface, nano and in situ composites in aluminium and magnesium
alloys. The materials processed by FSP have shown fascinating
properties in many instances.
Scope of the workshop
•
Physical metallurgy of Al alloys
•
Metal Matrix Composites
•
Friction stir processing (FSP) and its applications
•
Microstructure modification and homogenization by FSP
•
Processing of composite by FSP
•
Grain refinement and microstructure evolution during FSP
The purpose of this workshop is two-fold: first, to provide an account
of the landmark developments in the area especially with respect to
aluminium alloys and composites and discuss the state-of-the art and
second to disseminate the findings of a research project carried out
at IIT Madras on “Development of high strength and ductile Al alloy
based composite in solid state by friction stir processing”. This
workshop aims to bring together some of the distinguished
researchers in the country to speak on friction stir processing,
aluminium alloys and metal matrix composites in general and
composite fabrication by friction stir processing in particular.
