FSP is also used for surface modification unlike FSW where same principle
is used to join two sheets.

Gaps in Literature
Hardly any study has been on the Friction Stir Processing of Al alloy reinforced
with graphite particles.
No study has been done on Friction Stir Processing of Al alloy reinforced with the
mixture of graphite particles and SiC particles.
Only few papers have dealt with the analysis of the plunge force on Al alloy
during the FSP process.
Not much studies have been done on the Friction Stir Processing at a traverse
speed of 10-30 mm/mt.

CONCLUSION
Plunge force variation also showed more uniform force distribution during
FSP of Al 6061 alloy reinforced with graphite and SiC at a traverse speed of
10 mm/mt.

FUTURE WORK
FSP would be done at different RPM values and comparison of the properties
would be done.
Analysing the results by changing the mixing ratio of the graphite particles
and SiC particles in the reinforcement in the groove.
