The present research aims at studying the synergetic effect of pre-process thermal treatment and multi pass friction stir processing (FSP) on microstructure and mechanical properties of a hypo-eutectic Al–Si automotive alloy. The effect of FSP with and without pre-process thermal treatment is studied up to 3 passes and it is found that both the size of silicon particles and aluminium grains become...
