Results of friction stir processing (FSP) of aluminium alloy 6082 are presented in this paper. The FSP is an emerging metal working technology that can provide localized modification and control of microstructures in near surface layers of processed metallic components. This technology represents an adaptation of the principle of friction stir welding (FSW), a solid state joining process originally developed at the Welding Institute in the United Kingdom.
