Abstract

High strength and less in weight has evidenced the high application of Aluminum 7075 in industry. Present research of Aluminum 7075 has highly aimed for surface modification for better wear rate and friction resistance. This work is particularly carried out to modify the surface of aluminum 7075 with high mechanical properties and wear for high strength applications. The work contains development of AA7075 T6 with prearranged compositions of SiC & Gr by using Friction stir processing. First, Fabrication of AA7075 with 10wt.% of SiC and 5wt.% of Gr was done with single, double and triple pass technique. Secondly, Different tests were carried out to identify suitable material fabrication technique and mechanical characteristics. Based on the experimental results, 3pass FSP AA7075/SiC & Gr specimen offered better results with 156HV hardness, 268MPa tensile stress were found and process parameters are optimized
