Abstract: Friction stir processing (FSP) has been found as a promising method for surface modification of materials such as grain refinement and hardness increment. FSP is also widely used for fabrication of in situ micro-and nanocomposites on the surface of materials. In this research FSP is used for inserting the nanosized…
