| Abstract Scope |
Friction stir processing (FSP) with additional work hardening process of AISI A 128, an austenitic manganese steel frequently utilized in impact stress applications, represents a novel approach for enhancing the mechanical properties of this wear-resistant material. The process of intensive plastic deformation and the associated heat development during FSP results in the refinement of grains and the formation of homogeneous microstructures. This leads to a notable increase in hardness and strength, making the material more robust and durable under severe working conditions. Following FSP, a subsequent work hardening process occurs, whereby the mechanical properties are further enhanced by the formation of twins within the microstructure. This combination of processes results in a considerable increase in hardness and strength, which significantly improves the wear resistance of AISI A 128, making it even more suitable for applications involving high impact and abrasive environments. |
