Friction welding is a type of solid state welding where the welding process is carried out in a solid phase to combine various types of ferrous and non-ferrous metals that cannot be welded by the fusion welding method but for welding different metals the welding results are less than optimal due to cracks on the surface of the welding results and differences in mechanical properties that cause the welding result to be brittle, therefore an interlayer is used. In this study, observations were made on the process and results of the joint friction welding using dissimilar metal material between mild steel ST37 and stainless steel 201 with copper interlayer. The results of the test will be a tensile test to see the maximum tensile strength and a hardness test to see the hardness value of the interlayer variation of 0.3 mm, 0.5 mm, 1 mm and without an interlayer. The conclusions obtained are: (1) The effect of the addition of an interlayer on the rotary friction welding process includes the friction phase, the forging phase and the results of welding parameters in the form of motor power, motor angular speed, the change in specimen length is greater without using an interlayer compared to using an interlayer while the duration of welding time is greater using an interlayer than without using an interlayer. (2) The maximum tensile test results were obtained at the 1 mm interlayer at 482.43 MPa and the maximum hardness test results obtained at the 1 mm interlayer were 321.34 VHN.

AbstractThe objective of this work is to investigate the rotary friction welding of AA1100 aluminum alloy with mild steel, and to optimize the welding parameters of these dissimilar materials, such as friction pressure/time, forging pressure/time and rotational speed. The optimization of the welding parameters was deduced by applying Response Surface Methodology (RSM). An empirical relationship was also applied to predict the welding parameters. Tensile test and micro-hardness measurements were used to determine the mechanical properties of the welded joints. Some joints were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) in order to investigate the formation of intermetallic compound (IMC) layer at the weld interface. Experimentally, the tensile strength of the weld increases with increasing the forging pressure/time, while the low level of forging pressure/time allows the formation of an IMC layer which reduces the tensile strength of the weld.

Joining of metal with ceramics has become significant in many applications, because they combine properties like ductility with high hardness and wear resistance. By friction welding technique, alumina can be joined to mild steel with AA1100 sheet of 1mm thickness as interlayer. In the present work, investigation of the effect of friction time on interlayer thickness reduction and bending strength is carried out by factorial design. By using ANOVA, a statistical tool, regression modeling is done. The regression model predicts the bending strength of welded ceramic/metal joints accurately with ± 2% deviation from the experimental values.

In this work, pipe billets with a diameter of 73 mm and a wall thickness of 9 mm from steels 32G2 and 40KhN are friction welded with an aim to optimize the process parameters. The friction pressure, the forging pressure and the length of the fusion varied. After the implementation of various welding modes, tensile tests and metallographic studies were carried out. The optimal welding parameters have been established, which make it possible to obtain tensile strength at the level of the 32G2 base metal. The study results of the microstructure and SEM fractographs after the optimal welding mode are presented.

Advanced manufacturing processes improve the cost and quality of goods. Rotary friction welding is a fast, energy-efficient, and reliable joining process for metals, but new applications are hindered by large development costs for each new alloy. Each alloy set has different welding characteristics; therefore, lessons learned from a single alloy are not always broadly applicable. To establish knowledge that is applicable across multiple alloys, a family of different superalloys were welded to discover process trends that were applicable beyond a single alloy set. In this study, weld symmetry did not correlate to weld strength across alloy systems. Some alloys’ strongest welds occurred at maximum symmetry, whereas high asymmetry was associated with different alloys’ maximum strength. High feed rates, high welding forces, low energy, and low temperatures all resulted in high-strength welds across all alloy and geometry combinations. Tensile strengths greater than 95% of base-metal strength were recorded for most alloy systems.
