Friction Stir Processing

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Friction Stir Welding and Processing

Abstract

The intrinsic nature of friction stir process has two basic components as highlighted in previous chapters, material flow and microstructural evolution. The development of friction stir processing as a generic metallurgical tool for microstructural modification and a broader manufacturing technology is connected to these. Even though the adaption of these friction stir process based technological variants is slow, the potential of these is limitless. The focus of this chapter is to illustrate the linkages of basic friction stir process attributes to some illustrative examples of new technology development. The chapter is by no means comprehensive because many ideas can be built on these basics and each one can have its own niche area of application.
