Abstract

The evolution of temperature and thermal stresses were examined during friction stir processing of a magnesium alloy using in situ neutron diffraction. Measured total lattice strains were de-convoluted into the thermal and stress components. It shows the maximum temperature of 464 °C and compressive stress distributions up to −52 MPa underneath the tool via the thermo-mechanical deformation in terms of the Zener-Hollomon parameter of 4.51 × 1010 s−1.
