In this article, the microstructure and mechanical properties of friction stir-welded joints were evaluated after 15 vol. % of silicon carbide particle (SiCp) were introduced into the joint line, then compared with another welded joint without using SiCp. The rotational speed of 1750 rpm was applied...
