Abstract
Abstract: Nano- size alumina particles have been synthesized by mechanical activation of a dry powder mixture of
AlCl3 and CaO. Mechanical milling of the above raw materials with the conditions adopted in this study resulted in
the formation of a mixture consisting of crystalline CaO and amorphous aluminum chlorides phases. There was no
sign of chemical reaction occurring during milling stage as evidenced by x-ray diffraction studies. Subsequent heat
treatment of the milled powder at 350ºC resulted in the occurrence of displacement reaction and the formation of
Al2O3 particles within a water soluble CaCl2 matrix. The effect of higher temperature calcinations on the phase
development in this powder mixture was followed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis and scanning electron
microscope ( SEM). Differential thermal analysis (DTA) was used to compare the thermal behavior between the
milled and unmilled powders. Perhaps the most important result in this study was the observation of á-Al2O3 phase
at a very low temperature of 500ºC.

Abstract
Abstract:In this study, an effort has been made to determine the influence of rotational speed of tool on themicrostructure and hardness values of friction stir welded 2024-T851 aluminum alloy. The microstructure of stir zonein the joints has been investigated. It was found that the particles such as Al6(CuFeMn) particles are broken up duringfriction stir welding, and the degree of break up of these particles in the stir zone increases with increasing rotationalspeed. Since the break up of these particles and the recrystallization of new grains happen simultaneously, the brokenparticles would be placed in the grain boundaries. Moreover, the hardness value in the stir zone increases withincreasing rotational speed
