Abstract
Dissimilar friction stir welding (FSW) was performed between thick slabs of aluminum alloys enhanced with silicon carbide (SiC) nanoparticles. Excellent mechanical mixing among the connected materials, uniform distribution of nanoparticles, and further grain refinement distinguish defect-free welds from their unreinforced counterparts. The generated metal matrix composites’ local mechanical behavior was investigated and compared to that of the bulk and source materials. The presence of fillers is connected to the observed mechanical characteristics at the micro- and nano-scales (in particular, hardness and elastic modulus). The addition of SiC nanoparticles improves the material’s mechanical properties, such as hardness, elastic modulus, ultimate tensile strength, percentage elongation, and yield value.
