Aluminum-base surface hybrid composites have been fabricated by mixtures of SiO2 and Al2O3 particles on an Al–Si cast aluminum alloy using friction stir processing with the aim of achieving higher wear properties in the Al piston alloy via surface hybrid composites fabrication. The distribution of particles in the stir zone was evaluated via scanning electron microscope. Microstructures of the composites revealed that the reinforcing particles were uniformly distributed in the stir zone. Furthermore, the mechanical properties of each composite were determined using hardness tests indicating that increase in the relative content of SiO2 resulting in a decrease in the average hardness of the stir zone. Additionally, the wear resistance of the surface hybrid composites was investigated under normal load, sliding speed, and distances of 20 N, 1 m/s, and 4000 m, respectively. It was found that the wear mass loss of the 20% SiO2–80% Al2O3 hybrid composites (which was about 4.2 mg) was improved when compared with that of the A356 base alloy (nearly 19 mg). Moreover, by increasing the relative content of SiO2 particles from 0% to 100% in the hybrid composites, the friction coefficient of the composites rose from 0.55 to 0.73. It can be concluded by adding Al2O3 and SiO2 particles in the Al matrix, wear mass loss can be decreased by about five times compared with that of the base metal, in which the Al2O3 particle increases the hardness and SiO2 particles acts as lubricating agent, and the combination of these leads to better wear properties. The best combination of the hybrid particles in order to achieve the best wear properties for the hybrid composites is 20% Al2O3 and 80% SiO2.

Roller burnishing (RB) and friction stir processing (FSP) were applied to a cast aluminum alloy, AC4CH-T6 (equivalent to A356-T6), to improve the fatigue properties. In roller burnished specimens, Vickers hardness was increased until the depth of 60μm compared with that of the as-cast specimens, resulting in work-hardening by RB. The compressive residual stress on the surface of the roller burnished specimens was also increased from 35MPa to 132MPa. In order to investigate the effect of RB on the fatigue properties, rotary bending fatigue tests have been performed using the roller burnished and the as-cast specimens. The roller burnished specimens exhibited higher fatigue strength than the untreated specimens. It is due to the increase in hardness and compressive residual stress by RB. In addition, plane bending fatigue tests have been performed using the friction stir processed and untreated specimens. Fatigue strengths of the friction stir processed specimens were highly improved compared with untreated specimens as the results of the elimination of casting defects by FSP. However, the crack growth rates of the friction stir processed specimens were faster than those of untreated specimens. It is due to the softening of the material by heat input during the FSP.

Strain Rate Condition

The fatigue behavior of cast aluminum alloy, A356-T6, microstructurally modified by the friction stir processing (FSP) was investigated. The FSP conditions were set to be the tool rotational speed of 500 rpm and traveling speed of 200 mm/min, in which the strain rate was relatively low. Plane bending fatigue tests have been performed using the as-cast and friction stir processed (FSPed) specimens. Fatigue strengths in the finite life region and the fatigue limit of the FSPed specimens were highly improved compared with the as-cast ones resulting from the elimination of casting defects by the FSP. However, the crack growth rates of the FSPed specimens were faster than those of the as-cast ones due to the softening of the material by heat input during the FSP. The effects of FSP with low stain rate were discussed based on the microstructural consideration.
