An innovative welding method for fully automatic joining of pipelines has been developed. Theproposed welding procedure is a variant of the conventional friction welding process. A rotatingintermediate ring is used to generate heat necessary to realise the weld. The working principles of thewelding process are described. The weldability of the micro-alloyed high-strength pipeline steel API-5L X65is experimentally investigated. It was found that the new welding process is suitable for joining this material.When welding with a sufficiently low heat input, a high weld quality is obtained. Under these circumstancesthe weld strength, ductility and impact toughness are high and fulfil the requirements of the commonly usedstandard EN 12732 for joining pipes.

Tailored blanks characterized by variable thickness were friction stir welded (FSWed) with the aim to obtain constant joint properties along the weld seam, regardless of the thickness change. To pursue this goal, the heat input was kept constant by in-process control of tool rotation. A dedicated numerical model of the process was used to determine the tool rotation values as a function of the sheet thickness. The mechanical properties and the microstructure of the FSWed joints, produced with varying process parameters, were studied. It was found that the proposed approach can produce joints with uniform properties along the weld line in terms of stress–strain curve shape, joint strength, elongation at failure, and microstructure.
