The purpose of the present research is to develop hybrid AZ80/BN + CeO2 surface composite by friction stir processing (FSP). The impact of the pin shape on the metallurgical and mechanical properties is discussed. The microstructural features were studied employing Optical microscopy (OM) and Scanni...
