Description
Summary:We present a new technology of friction stir modification of material top layers. This technology is derived from that of friction stir welding. On the basis of a literature survey, the following is described: equipment, tools, advantages, and possible applications of FSP technology. It is found that the technology should gain recognition in Polish industry, which is more and more interested in implementation of advanced technologies.
