▎ 摘  要

In this study, the surface nanocomposite containing graphene oxide was produced on the Al5083 alloy surface, using Friction Stir Processing (FSP) in liquid cooled condition, in order to improve the microstructure and mechanical properties. For this purpose, FSP was carried out up to 3 passes on a base alloy with and without reinforcing particles. Microstructural features and mechanical properties of the obtained surface nanocomposite, FSPed Al5083 and base alloy were investigated. In order to study the microstructure, Electron Back Scatter Diffraction (EBSD) was used. It was revealed that the grain size nanocomposite was about 1 mu m after the process. This was while the grain size of the specimen with no reinforcement, after the process was 6 +/- 1.1 mu m and the size of the base alloy was 23 +/- 2.3 mu m. The substantial effect of the reinforcing particles in preventing the grains growth in the nanocomposite specimen was the main reason for this difference. Study of mechanical properties of base alloy, FSPed specimen, and the nanocomposite revealed that the simultaneous use of cooling environment and performing the process, increased the hardness of stir zone compared to the base alloy. This increase was raised in the presence of graphene oxide particles and reached to 123 +/- 1.7 HV. It was also observed that the nanocomposite had a better tensile behavior than the base alloy and the FSPed specimen. SEM images of the fracture surfaces indicated the existence of dimples and voids at the surface of the base alloy specimens and the FSPed specimen which showed their ductile fracture, but at the nanocomposite surface, in addition to the ductile fracture, a brittle fracture was occurred.
