Understanding the microstructural and mechanical behavior of the friction stir welded magnesium matrix composites is necessary for different applications in automobile and aerospace components such as fuel tanks, steering wheels, chassis, seat frames, etc. In the present study, friction stir welding of magnesium RZ5/8 wt% TiB2 metal matrix composites is carried out at different joining conditions. FESEM micrograph showed the refined equiaxed grains in the nugget zone and elongated grains in the thermo-mechanically affected zone. Better grain refinement with uniform distribution is achieved at the tool rotational speed of 931 rpm and traverse speed of 20 mm/min. During the joining of RZ5/8 wt% TiB2 composites, the maximum temperature measured in the nugget zone is 511 °C at the rotational tool speed of 1216 rpm and traverse speed of 20 mm/min. Hardness is maximum at the nugget zone, which is 30% higher than the base material. The heat-affected zone showed the lowest hardness due to the annealing induced grain growth. Tensile strength is maximum during the joining of the RZ5/8 wt% TiB2 composites at a tool rotational speed of 931 rpm because of the better grain refinement with uniform reinforcement distribution in the weld zone. The tensile residual stress is observed to be a maximum of 71.41 MPa at a depth of 2.5 mm from the top surface and compressive residual stress of 60.98 MPa at the bottom surface of the nugget zone. The residual stress increased with an increase in tool rotational speed due to the increase in shrinkage of the materials at the higher temperature.
