Prediction of tensile strength of friction stir welded stir cast AA6061-T6/AlNp composite.

Highlights: [•] AA6061/AlNp composite was welded by friction stir welding process. [•] Parameters considered in this study independently influenced the UTS of FS welded AMC. [•] AlNp are uniformly distributed in weld zone. [•] Size of AlNp is reduced in weld zone as compared with size of AlNp in base composite. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
