Keynote speaker : Dr. David Natarajan
David Natarajan earned his Doctor of Philosophy
degree in Materials Science and Engineering
from Texas A&M University, USA. He obtained his
B.Eng (Hons) degree and MSc degree in
Mechanical and Materials Engineering from the
National University of Malaysia.
He is currently the Head of Research (Grant Ac­
quisition) at the Research Management Center,
and a Senior Lecturer at the Faculty of Mechani­
cal Engineering, UniversitiTeknologi MARA,
Malaysia since 2002 and has consulted the poly­
mer manufacturing, automotive and oil & gas
industries. He has conducted research in the areas
of composites engineering, structural health
monitoring and acoustics. He has authored/ co-authored 112 peer-reviewed scientific
articles as of November 2016. His research interest includes viscoelasticity, acoustics and
brainwave entrainment.

Light weight, high strength metallic alloys are of primary inteiest in the present
day industiies. Aluminium alloys occupy a unique position in indusnies because of its
light weight. Irately much woik has going on in enhancing the mechanical properties of
the Aluminium by Friction Stir Processing (FSP), which is a suiface modification
technique. The various process parameters for FSP have a significant impact on the end
result. lire present study investigates the effect of various process paramcters on Friction
Stir Processing of Aluminium alloys. The process parameters selected for this study are
speed (rpm), feed (nun/min) and depth of cut (nun). Iltree levels of speed, feed and
depth of cut were selected and experiments were designed on the basis of Taguchi
Oithogonal array. FIxperiments were conducted on C N C machine with specially designed
FSP tool, having shoulder diameter of 20nun and pin diameter of Smm. Optimum
parameters value were obtained using Taguchi method. Continuation experiments were
also carried out. Hie documented results show that the micro hardness of the Aluminium
gets improved during FSP.
