Abstract

A nanocomposite obtained by introduction of carbon nanotubes into the surface layer of magnesium alloy AZ31B by the method of friction stir processing is studied. Dependences of the hardness and wear resistance on the speed of motion of the friction tool, the speed of rotation of the friction head, the number of passes of the tool and the relative content of carbon nanotubes in the layer are determined. The method of design of experiment is used to find the optimum modes for production of a nanocomposite with high hardness and wear resistance.
