The use of friction stir processing to locally modify the
microstructure to enhanced formability has the potential to alter
the manufacturing of structural shapes. There is enough research to
put together a short monograph detailing the fundamentals and key
findings. One example of conventional manufacturing technique for
aluminum alloys involves fusion welding of 5XXX series alloys. This
can be replaced by friction stir welding, friction stir processing
and forming. A major advantage of this switch is the enhanced
properties. However qualification of any new process involves a
series of tests to prove that material properties of interest in
the friction stir welded or processed regions meet or exceed those
of the fusion welded region (conventional approach). This book will
provide a case study of Al5083 alloy with some additional examples
of high strength aluminum alloys.
Demonstrates how friction stir processing enabled forming can
expand the design space by using thick sheet/plate for applications
where pieces are joined because of lack of formabilityOpens up new

has the potential to lower the cost of a finished structure and
