Abstract

With the fast progress of industrial manufacturing, friction stir additive manufacturing has fascinated wide-ranging consideration in the industry due to high material consumption rate. Friction stir additive manufacturing (FSAM), a newly developed solid-phase additive manufacturing technique was employed to fabricate AA6061/TiC/GS composite. The process parameters like tool rotational speed, transverse speed, tool tilt angle and type of tools used in friction stir additive manufacturing were analyzed. Taguchi’s L16 orthogonal array and ANOVA method was used to find the optimum process parameters for the tensile strength. Development characteristics of stirred zone, recrystallization and mixing of reinforced particles will significantly improve the mechanical properties of the fabricated composites. Microstructural investigation and fractography was done by using optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Corrosion, wear behavior and elemental analysis through EDS was also performed for the fabricated material. The maximum tensile strength of 385.74 MPa was attained under optimal parameters of the tool rotational speed 1,200 rpm, transverse speed 55 mm min−1, and tool tilt angle of 1° for scrolled tapered octagonal tool pin. The findings of the linear regression model showed a minor variance between model and experimental values. Prominent results of the experiment were compared by few other researcher’s findings working in similar area.
