Friction stir processing (FSP) is a manufacturing technique that can be employed to produce aluminum 6082 surface composites (ASCs). These ASCs display considerable increases in hardness and tensile strength, which makes them ideal for a wide variety of automotive applications. One example is piston skirts that are used in the cylinder chamber. The primary emphasis of this research is to investigate the accumulative impact that several passes have on Al 6082 surface composites that were filled with graphite nanopowder. The mechanical properties and microstructure of the fabricated composites were studied in order to accomplish this goal. The microstructural investigation showed that the graphite nanopowder particles were evenly distributed throughout the Al-6082 alloy. In addition, better dispersion of the graphite nanopowder was seen throughout the matrix material as the number of passes made during friction stir processing was increased. This may be explained by the reduction in grain size that occurs inside the aluminum metal matrix composites (AMMCs) that are produced as a consequence. According to the results of the research, the microhardness of the material grew to 105.3 HV after the third pass of the tool, and its maximum tensile strength rose to 215±3 MPa. In the ASCs that fabricated after three passes of friction stir processing, the smallest grain size that was measured was 24 micrometers.

Aluminium alloys have good mechanical and physical properties and are lightweight, easy to cast, and simple to machine. Aluminium alloys are widely used in the aviation industry, auto sector, defence sector, and structural industries because of their promising abilities. The fundamental aim of this study was to investigate the mechanical properties and physical characteristics of a stir cast hybrid aluminium nanocomposite reinforced with 1-3 wt.% cerium oxide (CeO2) and graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs). Utilizing SEM, microstructural analysis was carried out. The existence of the elements of the reinforcement in the manufactured nanocomposite specimens was verified using EDAX. With an increase in the reinforcement wt.%, improvements in the mechanical and physical properties were seen. In the hybrid nanocomposites reinforced with 3 wt.% GNPs and 3 wt.% CeO2, a low porosity of 1.06% was observed. The best results for tensile strength, yield strength, and microhardness were 398 MPa, 247 MPa, and 119.6 HV, respectively. The SEM micrographs of the studied materials showed that the reinforcement particles were uniformly dispersed and refined into ultrafine grains.
