Abstract: Highlights: [•] Application of FSW to join AA6061/B4C stir cast composite. [•] Homogenous distribution of B4C particles in the weld zone. [•] Clusters in the parent composite are fragmented by the stirring action of the tool. [•] Hardening of weld zone. [•] FSW changed the fracture mode from ductile to brittle. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
