摘要
Friction stir processing (FSP) has evolved as a potential candidate to fabricate surface composites. This paper investigates the influence of traverse speed on microstructure and microhardness of Cu/B4C surface composite fabricated using FSP. The traverse speed was varied from 20 to 60 in steps of 20 mm/min. The tool rotational speed, axial force and groove width were kept constant. Optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy were employed to study the microstructure of the fabricated surface composites. The results indicated that the traverse speed significantly influenced the area of the surface composite and distribution of B4C particles. The area of the surface composite was found to bear an inversely proportional relationship to traverse speed. Lower traverse speed exhibited homogenous distribution of B4C particles while higher traverse speed caused poor distribution of B4C particles in the surface composite.
