Abstract This article reports on the development of additive friction stir deposition techniques that use secondary feedstocks such as machine chips and damaged components to make in-field repairs at point need. The focus initial research was aluminum alloys. Preliminary studies show significant promise for adaptation these hard alloys including steel castings, wrought high strength steels, titanium
