Microstructural evolution and mechanical behavior of EN AW-2014A (AlCu 4 SiMg)/SiC reinforced composites under friction stir welding

Friction stir welding (FSW) was used to join stir-cast EN AW-2014A aluminum matrix composites reinforced with 5, 10, and 15 wt.% SiC, under fixed process parameters (270 r/min, 78 mm/min, 2° tilt). This work provides the first systematic, zone-resolved analysis linking SiC weight...
