Abstract

The influence of strain rate and temperature during friction stir processing (FSP) on the texture and tensile behavior of a Mg alloy has been investigated. By varying key processing parameters systematically, i.e. rotation and travel rates of the tool, a series of FSP specimens were prepared with a wide range of thermo-mechanical inputs in terms of the Zener–Hollomon parameter (Z). Neutron diffraction results showed a dramatic change in texture as Z increased. The resulting tensile behavior in the stir zone also illustrates the influence of Z.
