Friction Stir Welding for Aluminum Metal Matrix Composites (MMC's) Center Director's Discretionary Fund, Project No. 98-09

By J. A. Lee

This technical memorandum describes an investigation of using friction stir welding (FSW) process for joining a variety of aluminum metal matrix composites (MMC's) reinforced with discontinuous silicon-carbide (SiC) particulate and functional gradient materials. Preliminary results show that FSW is feasible to weld aluminum MMC to MMC or to aluminum-lithium 2195 if the SiC reinforcement is
