The light metal modification and composite preparation were achieved by a new solid-state processing process referred to as rotational friction extrusion (RFE) which is self-developed. The Al modified by RFE (RFEed Al) exhibited equiaxed grains with an average grain size of 17.5 μm and a high fracti...
