Fig. 1. A schematic illustration shows the difference among the three FSP runs in terms of plunge depth and tool geometry (Run-1, Run-2 and Run-3). Here PD is the abbreviation for plunge depth. All dimensions are in mm. The drawings are not to scale.
Fig. 2. Optical macrographs of the FSP materials {(a) Run-1, (b) Run-2, and (c) Run-3} in the transverse cross-section and their corresponding microstructures {(d), (e) and (f)}: Figs. (d) and (e) are optical micrographs whereas Fig. (f) is a TEM image. The white boxes shown on the optical macrographs indicate the approximate stir zone locations wherefrom TEM and DSC specimens were taken.
Fig. 3. TEM images showing precipitate morphology in (a) Run-1 (1.8 μm grain size), (b) Run-2 (5.5 μm grain size) and (c) Run-3 samples (0.68 μm grain size).
