Abstract
Abstract In the present article, the effect of friction stir processing (FSP) on the microstructural
and mechanical characteristics of A390 hypereutectic Al–Si alloy was studied. The effect of
tool rotational speed ω, traverse speed υ and the number of passes on such characteristics
was investigated. The results showed that FSP significantly improved the microstructural
characteristics of A390 Al alloy by reducing the structural defects found in the as cast alloy
such as porosity and the size of α-Al primary grains as well as the size of the primary Si ...
