Friction welding is one of the most economical process for solid-state joining materials. This technique allows to weld similar and dissimilar materials in a very short time. Friction welding of metal with composites gives new possibilities of application, due to the fact that materials have different physical and mechanical properties. In the study, aluminum alloy 44200 was friction welded to Al/Al2O3 composite. In addition, the following exam were used: optical microscopy, microhardness measurements and also tensile strength for all joints produced by friction welding. All of studies were performed to evaluate the quality of bonding aluminum alloy with metal matrix composite reinforced ceramic phase of Al/Al2O3.

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.

This paper aims at providing a state-of-the-art review of an increasingly important class of joining technologies called solid-state welding. Among many other advantages such as low heat input, solid-state processes are particularly suitable for dissimilar materials joining. In this paper, major solid-state joining technologies such as the linear and rotary friction welding, friction stir welding, ultrasonic welding, impact welding, are reviewed, as well as diffusion and roll bonding. For each technology, the joining process is first depicted, followed by the process characterization, modeling and simulation, monitoring/diagnostics/NDE, and ended with concluding remarks. A discussion section is provided after reviewing all the technologies on the common critical factors that affect the solid-state processes such as the joining mechanisms, chemical and materials compatibility, surface properties, and process conditions. Finally, the future outlook is presented.

Friction welding is a solid state joining process of joining either similar or dissimilar materials. Joining of ceramic/metal joints by friction welding has opened up new possibilities in many engineering applications. In the present work, thermal modeling of friction welding process has been carried out. Using Finite Element Approach (FEA), analytical solutions were arrived for different ceramic/metal combinations. The temperature distributions of cylindrical surfaces of the alumina and the metals are found by means of 1D heat transfer assumption considering the effect of convection. In the thermal analysis, interfacial temperature and thermal conductivity of the material play a significant role. Based on the obtained temperature distribution the graphs are plotted between the length of the joint and the temperatures. Thus the knowledge of the temperature joint distribution could be helpful in predicting the thermal cycle of the process, microstructure evolution and residual stress formation. Thus the obtained graph helps to study and predict the temperature distribution of both the materials.

Hybrid Rotary Friction Welding is a modified type of common rotary friction welding processes. In this welding method, parameters such as pressure, angular velocity and time of welding control temperature, stress, strain and their variations which play an important rule in defining optimum process parameter combinations in order to improve the design and manufacturing of welding machines and quality of welded parts. Thermo-mechanical simulation of friction welding has been carried out. It has been shown that simulation is an important tool for prediction of generated heat and strain at the weld interface and can be used for prediction of microstructure and evaluation of quality of welds. For simulation of Hybrid Rotary Friction Welding a commercial finite element program has been used and the effects of pressure on temperature and strain variations have been investigated.

Friction welding (FW) is a solid state welding method invented in 1940s by the welding institute. Without genuine liquefying of the materials, a normally excellent weld joint is produced with this procedure. The method is quick, environment friendly and easy to carry out. The extent of the present examination is to assess the effect of welding variables on the tensile properties of friction welded of dissimilar metals. From this review study, posted research papers of different authors has been studied and it has been determined that the welding variables like revolution pace, rubbing time , friction stress, forge time, forge strain are have high impact on the mechanical properties of friction welded joints. Finally, the conclusions of the review study presented the practical applications for the manufacturing sector and proposals for further innovative work and advancements. The purpose for this article is to advise industry and the scholarly world regarding the advantages of rotary FW so the procedure might be used in better way.

As a relatively new solid-state joining process, friction stir welding (FSW) may provide a feasible approach to join dissimilar materials such as Mg to Al alloys. In this work, the effects of selected process parameters including work-piece placement, pin tilting angle, and pin location on the quality of dissimilar AA 2024-T3 to AZ31B-H24 butt joints were investigated for the first time. Sound butt joints with low distortion and no solidification cavities or cracks were successfully obtained indicating the potential of FSW to join dissimilar Al to Mg alloys.

Abstract The results of experimental study of solid state joining of tungsten heavy alloy (THA) with AlMg3Mn alloy are presented. The aim of these investigations was to study the mechanism of joining two extremely different materials used for military applications. The continuous rotary friction welding method was used in the experiment. The parameters of friction welding process i.e. friction load and friction time in whole studies were changed in the range 10 to 30kN and 0,5 to 10s respectively while forging load and time were constant and equals 50kN and 5s. The results presented here concerns only a small part whole studies which were described elsewhere. These are focused on the mechanism of joining which can be adhesive or diffusion controlled. The experiment included macro- and microstructure observations which were supplemented with SEM investigations. The goal of the last one was to reveal the character of fracture surface after tensile test and to looking for anticipated diffusion of aluminum into THA matrix. The results showed that joining of THA with AlMg2Mn alloy has mainly adhesive character, although the diffusion cannot be excluded.
