This paper is on the successful fabrication of Metal Matrix Composite (MMC) using an Aluminium plate and Molybdenum powder by Friction Stir Process (FSP). The aim was to produce a superficial MMC layer on the Al plate in order to increase the mechanical properties of the as received Al plate. A uniform dispersion of Mo particles in the Al matrix was observed from SEM observations and EDX analyses and a significant improvement in the Vickers microhardness was also detected.
