Abstract
Friction stir processing (FSP) of as-cast NiAl bronzes converts the as-cast
microstructure to a wrought condition in the volume of materials subjected to the process. This
results in improved properties in the absence of component shape change. With the
development of portable systems, friction stir processing may enable in situ repair of defective
components such as propellers and thus avoid expensive procedures such as dry docking for
such repairs.
