Geometrically modified pins were utilized for the development of the hybrid AZ80 Mg/CeO2+ZrO2 composite by using the friction stir processing method. The local shear punching strength, structure, hardness, and wear of the hybrid AZ80 Mg/CeO2+ZrO2 composite were investigated. A change of the tool pro...
