In this paper, A 3D finite-elements model of titanium alloy TC4 of linear friction welding is developed based on the solution of several key techniques, such as contact boundary condition treating, material properties definition, meshing technology, etc. The temperature field and the temperature gradient of workpiece are showed in results. The temperature at the interface was quickly increased to near 1000°C at 1s, and then reached a quasi-steady and the stable temperature of interface maintained about 1100°C until welding finished.

A 3D finite-elements model of 45# carbon steel of linear friction welding is built with the dynamic explicit code ABAQUS/explicit. The temperature field of workpiece, and the temperature change of center point of welding interface are showed in results. The center temperature of welding interface soars to 800°C, but the temperature of both ends of the welding interface are only 400°C or so at 0.75s. Then, the interface temperature rises slowly to about 920°C and maintains until welding ends.

The orthogonal experimental design was conducted for linear friction welding of Ti-6Al-4V titanium alloy (TC4). The friction power and joint temperature were collected during the welding process. The influence of process parameters on the axial shortening was analyzed. The suitable process parameters were determined by investigating the joint appearance, the requirement of axial shortening and welding variables during welding. The results provide important reference for establishing process parameters of linear friction welding in practice.

In this paper, a critical analysis of the technical difficulties and numerical issues in running simulations of linear friction welding processes is carried out. The focus of the paper is the comparison of different modeling strategies of a numerical analysis for the LFW process of Ti-6Al-4V titanium alloy, for which the thermal aspect strongly influences the mechanical behavior due to the phase transformation, taking place over a definite range of temperature. A 3D simulation campaign, conducted using the FEA code DEFORMTM, was considered in order to show advantages and disadvantages of each approach, including the most critic limitations and complexity in a correct simulation design using two deformable objects.

In this paper, the fracture toughness of the thermo-mechanically affected zone (TMAZ) and the weld zone (WZ) of the TC17 titanium alloy linear friction welding joint was studied. The relationship between microstructure and fracture toughness of the joint, as well as the morphologies of the joint microstructure and fracture were investigated. The results indicate that after heat treatment, there was no significant difference in hardness between the WZ and the TMAZ of the joint, which was about 420 HV. However, the microstructures of the different zones of the joint were significantly different. The TMAZ was composed of coarse grains having an internal basket-shaped α phase with an uneven grain size, while the WZ was composed of relatively uniform fine grains and contained a sheet-like α phase. The fracture toughness of the TMAZ was found to be higher than that of the WZ, indicating that the microstructure of the joint had a significant impact on the fracture toughness. In addition, the fracture resistance of the TMAZ with coarser grains and uneven microstructure was better than that of the WZ with fine grains and uniform microstructure.

A 3D finite-elements model of 45# carbon steel of linear friction welding is built with the dynamic explicit code ABAQUS/explicit based on the solution of several key techniques, such as contact boundary condition treating, material properties definition, meshing technology, etc. Then the reliability of the model is validated by comparison with experiments in the literature. Furthermore, numerical simulation and analysis of the linear friction welding process of 45# steel have been carried out by using the model. The temperature field of workpiece, the temperature change of center point of welding interface and the metal flow behavior of welding interface are showed in results.
