Linear Friction

Using finite element analysis software of COSMAP, a three-dimensional elastic-plastic finite element model of linear friction welding (LFW) process of Ti6Al4V alloy was established. Based on metallo-thermo-mechanical theory relevant to describing the coupled fields of metallic structure, temperature and stress–strain, the temperature fields, phase transformation and stress fields during the LFW process were investigated in numerical simulation. Moreover, the validation experiment was carried out. The results showed that the simulation results of temperature，phase transformation and the residual stress were in good agreement with the experimental ones, which proved the numerical simulation to be reliable.

Weld Parameters

Linear Friction Welding (LFW) is well adapted to produce titanium aircraft engine and structure parts, as an alternative to machining from solid, from forging or from electron beam welded blanks. The process can be described through a small number of mechanical variables: the amplitude and frequency of oscillation motion, the contact pressure and the axial displacement resulting of hot material flowing outside of the joint interface. Nonetheless, because of the high speeds and loads, the correct control and monitoring of linear friction welding requires special care on machine and tooling design. The main principles of LFW machine design are described, with a special focus on the consistency between process quality requirements and machine characteristics: the static and dynamic machine behavior, the control system performance, the sensor technology and the tooling clamping solutions shall allow a good control of the weld parameters and an accurate monitoring of the physical phenomena at the joint interface.

Grinding Temperature Field

Temperature is not only an important parameter in machining, but also an important basis for process optimization. Accurate prediction and reasonable analysis of grinding temperature is of great and far-reaching significance to the development and promotion of nanofluid micro-lubrication. In this chapter, the mathematical model of finite element simulation of temperature field of high efficiency deep grinding under four kinds of cooling lubrication conditions is established, and the three boundary conditions and the constraints of simulation model are established, and the mesh division and time step algorithm are determined respectively. Using ABAQUS simulation platform and theoretical model to simulate grinding temperature field, the distribution characteristics of grinding temperature field under different working conditions are analyzed from different directions, different grinding depths, and different workpiece materials.

Linear Friction

This paper presents a fully coupled thermomechanical model for the linear friction welding process of Inconel-718 nickel-based superalloy by using the finite element method. Friction heat, plastic work, and contact formulation were taken into account for two deformable plastic bodies oscillating relative to each other under large compressive force. The modelling results of the thermal history at the weldline interface and thermal field at a distance away from the rubbing surfaces were compared to instrumented data sourced from related publications for model verification. Optimal linear friction welding process parameters were identified via comparison of weld temperature to the liquidus temperature of Inconel-718 alloy. Comparison of interface temperature showed a consistent range of values above the solidus melting temperature (1250 ℃) and below the liquidus melting temperature (1360 ℃) of Inconel-718 alloy. For the first time, a visible linear friction welding process window is identified using a thermomechanical computational modelling method. Through computational modelling, the influence of welding process parameters on the heat transfer and deformation of weld was systematically investigated.
