Abstract
Twelvepass friction stir processing FSP with 50 pct overlap was carried out on aluminum alloy 5086O rolled plates to obtain total area of 40 × 150 mm2 Two methods of frictionstir processing intermittent multipass friction stir processing IMP and continuous multipass stir processing CMP were carried out and their effect on the mechanical properties of the processed material was studied The results revealed that material subjected to IMP showed better mechanical properties compared with the material subjected to CMP Also a variation in mechanical properties was observed with an increase in the tool traverse speed for singlepass CMP and IMP types of processing
