Abstract
The microstructural evolution during friction surfacing of an aluminum alloy 6082-T6 rod on an aluminum alloy 2024-T351 substrate was characterized using the electron backscatter diffraction technique. Crystallographic data were obtained from several regions in the consumable material and in the deposited material. From the results, it can be deduced that the grain structure formation was a complex process governed by the geometrical effect of strain and the superposition of continuous and discontinuous dynamic recrystallizations.
