Friction Welding: Process, Benefits & Uses

Friction welding is a solid state welding process that uses heat generated from mechanically induced sliding motion between rubbing surfaces to join materials together under pressure. It involves rotating one component and pressing it against another to create heat through friction. This heat softens the materials, which are then forged together to form a weld. Friction welding has advantages like simplicity, low power needs, high speed welding, and producing improved welds compared to other processes. Its applications include joining steels, super alloys, and other metals for automotive and industrial parts.

A SEMINAR REPORT ON

FRICTION WELDING

PRESENTED BY:-
DEFINATION
• Friction welding is a solid state welding
process where in coalescence is produced by
the heat obtained from mechanically induced
sliding motion between rubbing surfaces. The
work parts are held together under pressure.
FIG:-1.1 FRICTION WELDING MACHINE
OPERATION STEP FOR FRICTION WELDING:-

STEP:-1
The two components to be friction welded are held in axial
alignment.
STEP 2:-
One component that is held in chucking spindle of
the machine is rotated and accelerated to the desired
speed.
STEP 3:-
The other component that is held in the movable
clamp is moved forward to come into pressure contact
with the rotating component.
STEP 4:-
Pressure and rotation are maintained until the resulting high temp
makes the component’s metal plastic for welding with sufficient
metal behind the interface becoming softened to permit the
components to be forged together. During this period metal is slowly
extruded from the weld region to form an upset
Advantages of friction welding:-

1. Simplicity of operation.
2. Low power requirements.
3. Less time for welding.
4. Compare to flash and resistance butt welding friction welding
produce improved welds at higher speed and lower cost, less
electrical current is required.
5. Fully automated.
6. There is no flux, filler metal or slag presents.
7. With friction welding there is less shorting of the components.
Disadvantages of friction
welding:-
1. The use of this process is restricted to flat and angular butt welds,
where one part is normal to the other part.
2. So far the process has been applied only to the joining of small pieces
in the form of bar stock
3. Sometimes, quite a heavy flash is forced out in all inertia and friction
welds.
4. If tubing is welded, flash may have to be removed from inside the
joint.
5. Flash from medium and high carbon steels being hard, must either be
removed while it is hot or annealed before it is machined.
6. Thrust pressures in inertia welding will range from 700 to 2800
kg/cm2, which require machine.
APPLICATION OF
FRICTION WELDING:-
1. Friction welding is use for joining steels,
super alloys, nonferrous metals and
combination of metals.
2. Among its varied applications are:
Production of steering shafts and worm
gears, control shafts, axle shafts, engine
valves, transmission shafts etc., for
automobile indus.
PRACTICAL APPLICATION:-

Engine valves Driveshaft


CONTINUOUS:-

Axles Turbochargers
