The fabrication of jet engine rotors by joining simple disk and ring shapes offers both weight and cost advantages; however, the metal joints must have excellent and completely reproducible mechanical properties. Inertia welding achieves this since it is a solid state joining process which forges the two parts together under an automatically controlled situation. The parameters for inertia welding jet engine nickel and titanium alloys are discussed. The cost and weight advantages occurring from elimination of mechanical joints and better material utilization are identified. Several typical applications are described.

This study presents manufacturing lightweight aerospace components by solid state joining technologies. The advantages of solid state joining are due to the lack of hot cracking from solidification, since there is no liquid phase involved in joining process. This produces a high quality joint as compared to that from conventional fusion welding process. In diffusion bonding process, two different surfaces are matched together at elevated temperature under a low pressure without macroscopic plastic deformation in the interface. In friction stir welding process, the rotating shoulder of the tool generates frictional heat on the surface. As the pin rotates it forces the plastic material to mix mechanically in the vicinity of the pin and produces a heavily deformed microstructure around the pin. In this study, solid state joining processes of diffusion bonding and friction welding, are applied to manufacture several launcher components with lightweight, efficient and cost saving.

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.


Nowadays, the joining process plays a vital role in every field of engineering application. Various similar and dissimilar materials are joined by many joining processes to a formed complex component. In all joining processes, welding is a very popular and effective joining process that gives permanent joint. In this process material to be joined is under influence of heat which is produced with aid of external (flame) and internal (friction) mediums. Further, there are types of welding process called friction welding which is solid-state welding, in that process friction had developed between materials having relative motion thus sufficient heat also produced, and welding is performed in solid-state. In recent time’s friction welding is widely used in automobile, aeronautical, structural, marine, etc areas due to its flexibility demand for various materials. In this research work, the aluminium 6061 and mild steel are joined by friction welding by varying the rotating speed of lathe chuck, friction time, burn-off length, and the joint is examined by a tensile test to check its strength. Taguchi’s orthogonal array was used to design the experiment and at the end, the ANOVA test is carried out for the optimization of process parameters.

Friction welding is a solid state joining process used to join similar and dissimilar metals, not possible with other available welding techniques. Now a day’s Friction welding is most commonly used in industry that is aeronautical engineering, automobile engineering, submarine industry and heavy industry. In this research, an experimental setup was designed and fabricated in order to accomplish friction welded joints mild steel. Thereafter, the effect of forging pressures and rotation speed on the mechanical properties of friction welded ST 42 steels, produced by mechanical joining, have been investigated. Samples were welded under friction pressure 10 MPa by different forging pressures 25 MPa and 35 MPa with different rotation speed 1095 rpm, 1200 rpm, and 1400 rpm. The tensile strength values of the weldments were determined and evaluated. The top result is produced from sample were welded under forging pressures 35 MPa at rotation speed 1400 rpm that is tensile strength 437,27 N/mm2 and yield strength 399,75 N/mm2.Keywords : friction welding, forging pressure, tensile strength, yield strength, and elongation.

This paper proposes the development of the methodology to be carried out for the metal joining process through the GMAW welding process in the Fanuc LR Mate 200iD industrial robot. The parameters or properties were considered for the application to be as efficient as possible, such parameters as speed of application, characteristics of the filler material, gas to be used as welding protection. The GMAW welding process can be applied semiautomatically using a hand gun, in which the electrode is fed by a coil, or an automatic form that includes automated equipment or robots. The advantages and disadvantages of the GMAW welding process applied in a manual and automated way were commented. The mechanical properties of the materials to which said welding can be applied were investigated; The materials with which this type of welding can be worked are the high strength materials, which are used in the automotive industry, for the forming of sheet metal. To know the properties of the material, destructive tests were carried out on the test material to be used, as well as the mechanical properties of the welding.

In the present study, a friction welding process was adopted to join dissimilar alloys of Ti-Al-4V to Nitinol. The effect of friction welding on the evolution of welded macro and microstructures and their hardnesses and tensile properties were studied and discussed in detail. The macrostructure of Ti-6Al-4V and Nitinol dissimilar joints revealed flash formation on the Ti-6Al-4V side due to a reduction in flow stress at high temperatures during friction welding. The optical microstructures revealed fine grains near the Ti-6Al-4V interface due to dynamic recrystallization and strain hardening effects. In contrast, the area nearer to the nitinol interface did not show any grain refinement. This study reveals that the formation of an intermetallic compound (Ti2Ni) at the weld interface resulted in poor ultimate tensile strength (UTS) and elongation values. All tensile specimens failed at the weld interface due to the formation of intermetallic compounds.

Friction Stir Welding (FSW) is a solid state joining process which possesses a great potential to revolutionise the aerospace industries. Distinctive materials are selected as aerospace alloys to withstand higher temperature and loads. Sometimes these alloys are difficult to join by a conventional welding process but they are easily welded by FSW process. The FSW process in aerospace applications can be used for: aviation for fuel tanks, repair of faulty welds, cryogenic fuel tanks for space vehicles. Eclipse Aviation, for example, has reported dramatic production cost reductions with FSW when compared to other joining technologies. This paper will discuss about the mechanical and microstructure properties of various aerospace alloys which are joined by FSW process.
