Abstract
Aluminum alloys having good strength to weight ratio and resistance to corrosion have a wide
range of applications in aerospace, automobiles, military, sports and many other applications.
In order to enhance the hardness and wear resistance of the surface without compromising the
bulk properties, aluminum matrix based surface composites fabricated with various
reinforcements on the surface are now a days being utilized widely as new generation materials.
In the manufacturing of metal surface hybrid composites (precisely of light weight alloys likeAl, Mg, etc.), the friction stir processing is a promising new solid state processing technique
which is versatile enough to incorporate controlled uniform distribution of the reinforcements
into the matrix for reduced defects and improved properties at the surface. The objective of this
bibliometric review is to understand the scope of Industry 4.0 applications in the condition
monitoring and evaluation of friction stir processing for fabrication of surface hybrid
composites based on the existing literature. In order to analyze the available literature, a total
of 1027 published documents have been studied using scopus database. Based on the published
documents, research is focused on the analysis based on yearly published documents, types of
documents, source titles, keywords searched, affiliations of authors, funding sponsors,
countries related, source types, languages of publications, etc.
Keywords: Bibliometric review; friction stir processing; aluminium surface composites;
condition monitoring; Industry 4.0.
Introduction
The fastening process is one of the most common and integral part of any product
manufacturing process. Fastening can be temporary using nut and bolt, rivets etc., or can be
permanent such as welding, soldering and brazing processes. The performance and reliability
of any product manufactured is largely dependent on these joining techniques and methods.
Research and development in the area of permanent joining is in a continuous progression with
new innovations and developments and is carried out with the main aim of increasing the joint
performance with minimum effect on surface characteristics of the joined part.
The friction based joining methods, also termed as “Green welding processes”, have recently
gained interest among the researchers worldwide since they do not require or produce any
environmentally hazardous chemicals, gases, etc. The Friction Stir Welding (FSW) process is
such a process which is generally used to join two metallic parts utilizing friction which was
first attempted in 1991 in UK [(Hsu, Kao, and Ho 2005)] at The Welding Institute using
aluminum alloys. The friction stir processing (FSP) was developed based on same technique
as friction stir welding with a purpose to modify the surface of the work-pieces. This can be
performed on any Vertical Milling Machine and utilizes the same tool as that in friction stir
welding to refine the microstructure of the surface of a metal rather than joining two metal
pieces as in FSW. In FSP, a non-consumable tool consisting of a shoulder with a small
diameter pin protruding at its tip is mounted on the machine and rotates on its axis. This pin is
inserted inside the material and the tool shoulder rubs over the surface with the aid of a vertical
axial load in the machine tool. Since the tool is rotating and the work-piece is stationary, the
friction due to rubbing of the shoulder and the metal surface generates a considerable amount
of heat. When this heat produced reaches the recrystallization temperature of the work-piece,
the material becomes plastically soft and the pin stirs this softened material around it from front
to back as the tool is traversed forward in its path. Hence the microstructure of the material,
specially in the volume of pin traverse (called stir zone), gets completely refined improving the
properties. The rise in temperature can easily deform the metals plastically, and the traverse
movement of the tool makes the metal to get extruded around the tool before being forged by
the vertically downward force imparted by the machine tool [(Seidel and Reynolds
2001)(Ratanathavorn and Melander 2015)(Charit and Mishra 2003)]. In addition to welding,
the principles of FSW has been applied in the surface modification techniques also. Friction
stir alloying (FSA) and friction stir processing (FSP) are few examples of it and have attracted
the research community to explore more possibilities [(Asgharzadeh, Faraghi, and Kim 2017)].
Since this method involves refining of the microstructure without any melting of the material
surface (avoiding defects caused during solidification) and there is a possibility to add other
particles (reinforcements) into the surface imparting their properties, it is highly recommended
to use friction stir processing for manufacture of surface nanocomposite materials.
Aluminium based composites have a wide range of engineering applications such as in
aerospace industry, automobile sector, electronics, and packaging industry since these have
superior strength to weight ratio (Tamboli et al. 2019). Some researchers applied FSP in order
to manufacture aluminium matrix surface composites using multiple ceramic reinforcements
(Sharma, Sharma, and Paul 2020). Mishra et. al. [(Charit and Mishra 2003)] carried out
research based of the principles of FSW and first developed the FSP process with main
objective of modifying the microstructural properties of the materials. Many such experiments
were carried out following the FSP procedure and it was shown that FSP can effectively be
used for many material property enhancement such as to modify the microstructure of
aluminium and magnesium alloys into ultrafine grain structure [(Lee, Yeon, and Jung
2003)(Kwon, Shigematsu, and Saito 2003)(Rhodes et al. 2003)(Su, Nelson, and Sterling
2005)(Chang, Lee, and Huang 2004)], to impart super-plasticity in light weight alloys [(Ma,
Mishra, and Mahoney 2002)(Charit and Mishra 2003)] and to refine the microstructure of
existing nanocomposite materials based on aluminium alloys [(Berbon et al. 2001)].
For any manufacturing process to be commercially competitive in terms of product quality and
cost, it needs to be Industry 4.0 compatible. The fourth industrial revolution also known as
Industry 4.0 is an advancement from the third industrial revolution by the integration of cutting
edge technologies such as Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Internet of Things, 3D
Printers and scanners, nanotechnology, cloud computing in the manufacturing industries. For
FSP to be Industry 4.0 ready, it needs to be more autonomous and equipped with adequate
sensors for collection of useful information such as force, temperature during the process,
vibration data, etc. in addition to the data pertaining to the health and condition of the FSP
machine. The integration of sensors for data collection and condition monitoring and process
monitoring during the friction stir processing, will help in controlling and predicting the process
anomaly and there by controlling the quality for the finished products. This aspect of the friction
stir processing is rarely studied by the researches.
Condition monitoring and Anomalies detection in Friction Stir Processing in the context
of Industry 4.0
Pertaining to the challenges in an industry to design an infrastructure capable of collecting,
managing and processing of the data acquired from different heterogeneous sensors, Fabrizio
De Vita et al. [(De Vita, Bruneo, and Das 2020)] implemented an anomaly prediction algorithm
that employed fusion of sensors data in order to estimate the working conditions of an industry.
The erroneous and abnormal readings of sensors (in time series form) and hence the working
conditions of the network, were predicted by an anomaly detection model proposed, that was
based on edge computing and the faulty data was detected by an improved confidence interval
obtained [(Yin, Li, and Yin 2020)]. Another study of investigating the fault in sensor data
proposed, was established by clustering of correlated data [(Yoo 2020)], where data
relationship was recognized, a clustering model was generated and the fault index was
calculated based on random distances. An approach of fault detection in the readings of sensors
in a surveillance network [(Marzat, Piet-Lahanier, and Bertrand 2018)] was proposed to study
the characteristics of anomalies in sensor networks and the techniques associated for correction
with the help of a case study in a sensor network area considering events in the form of binary
measurements. An attempt to detect the fault in measuring energy data [(Hu et al. 2019)] also
proposed a methodological and statistical analysis that considers existing sensor data, identifies
data from expert knowledge, integrates the domain knowledge (creation of virtual sensors) and
selects the data using appropriate machine learning algorithms. A recent attempt by Francesco
Cauteruccio et al. [(Cauteruccio et al. 2021)] has been made to investigate the anomalies
detection and classification in multiple IoT frameworks focusing various parameters affecting
good network connection and efficient exchange of data from the sensors. These works
motivate to develop and apply an online monitoring and anomalies detection model that leads
to an improved microstructure in work-piece and reduced tool wear and hence improved tool
life in friction stir processing. An implemention of IIoT framework is shown in Figure 1.

Citation Analysis using Gephi software
In Figure 11, a graph representing the citation data analysis performed on research articles
considering two attributes i.e. source title and citation count, using a gephi software
methodology, is shown. In this network or graph, a number of 1594 articles (as nodes)
are studied which seem to be connected with each other by 1894 citations ( as edges).
Using a force atlas algorithm, it shows in the graph that the most important articles which
are cited more can be seen in the middle and those which are cited less are represented
in the periphery of the graph. In order to represent ranking of the articles, in-degree
attribute is selected which shows the number of times an article is cited by other articles.
The darker the colour of the nodes shown in the graph, the more cited is the article and
light coloured nodes show lesser number of citations. The strength of the division of the
network into different modules such as groups, clusters or communities of articles can be
achieved here by creating partitions in the articles using modularity class attribute. Here
different coloured clusters are shown with the related articles of same colour. Many other
analysis also can be performed using gephi technology.

Network Analysis
In this method, the relationship between two different attributes is represented through
graphs using available softwares. In this analysis vosviewer software is used for network
analysis using scopus data. Figure 12 represents the network analysis between source
titles and index keywords based on co-occurrence. Here, the size of the graph indicates
the level of incidence of the keywords. Wherever in the graph the distance between
keywords is lesser, it shows stronger correlation between them and vice-versa. From the
figure, it is shown that the keyword “friction stir processing” followed by “friction stir
welding” have a stronger influence with other keywords. Same colored keywords
represent the common clusters formed by these keywords. The minimum number of
occurences of a keyword selected is 5. Hence only 534 keywords meet this threshold for
the analysis and 9 clusters are formed.

Future work
In this paper, the bibliometric review is limited to only scopus database. Since it is subjected
to various researches with each day, the data tends to change and hence is limited upto a certain
time. The study can be widened if multiple databases like Web of Science, ScienceDirect,
Google Scholar etc. are also considered for exploring more in the area of friction stir
processing. This method can help in comparing different databases simultaneously and detect
anomalies in real time for improved performance of this method. Several other combinations
of attributes can be explored. Improvement in this bibliometric review can be done by including
various other attribute analyses using VOSviewer and gephi software and even other
techniques available that can elaborate different views to analyze the network.
Conclusion
In this paper, the bibliometric analysis in the Friction stir processing is represented based on
the published documents which are extracted from the Scopus database. The study shows that
Friction stir processing is Now-a days trending research area and is attracting attention of the
researchers working in this area. Friction stir processing finds an important role and needs to
be investigated and developed in the context of industry 4.0. This paper focuses on various
maintenance methods available, and the challenges ahead for the investigation of friction stir
processing. Countries like India, China, United States and Iran are the leading nations and have
