In this study a novel variant of friction stir processing was developed for producing of polymer metal surface or bulk composites in order to enhance the mechanical, electrical and thermal properties. For this purpose, a novel tooling system was designed consists of a rotating pin, a stationary shoulder and a heating system located inside the shoulder. In present paper, for preliminary study high-density polyethylene and copper powder was selected as polymeric matrix and metallic additive, respectively. Surface quality, microstructure, ultimate tensile strength and the modulus of elasticity were determined for each prepared sample. From experimental tests, it was found that this approach is an efficient method for producing of polymer-metal composites. (C) 2013 The Society of Manufacturing Engineers. Published by Elsevier Ltd.
