Friction stir processing (FSP) is variant of friction stir welding (FSW) process, which is a solid-state material processing technique. Materials for specialized applications are desired to have certain selective properties which are not possible to achieve from the traditional alloy processes, such as a combination of hardness and toughness, that can be successfully produced using friction stir processing. Friction stir processing is implemented by plunging a rotating tool on the surface of the material to be processed and stirring of the processing area.
