摘要: Abstract The present investigation is aimed at developing a heat flow model to simulate temperature history during friction stir processing (FSP). A new approach of implicit form finite difference equations solved using MATLAB code was used. magnesium based alloy AE42 processed (FSPed) different FSP parameters and cooling conditions. Temperature continuously recorded in the nugget zone data acquisition system k type thermocouples. developed validated conditions experimentation. locations instants time further utilized for estimation grain growth rate final average size FSPed specimen. regression equation relating size, maximum developed. metallurgical characterization done optical microscopy, SEM, FIB-SIM analysis. simulated profiles were found be good agreement with experimental results. presence fine precipitate particles generated situ investigated also contributed evolution structure through Zener pining effect boundaries.
