Frictional welding
Frictional welding is a solid-state welding process that uses relative motion and high force between two contacting workpieces to generate heat through friction and form a joint. There are different types of frictional welding processes defined by the motion used - linear, rotary, stir, radial, and orbital friction welding. Frictional welding produces joints with low surface impurities and narrow heat-affected zones. It can join similar and dissimilar metals for applications in automotive, aerospace, consumer products, medical, and other industries.

- 2. What is frictionalwelding Solid state welding process Use relative motion and high force to create frictional heat at the weld face up to the points were plasticized After that intermixing at the welding face and end up with joint Actually it is not a welding process, a forging process. Processes are categorized by the types of relative motion

- 4. Linear Frictional weldingprocess One piece at stationary and one piece is oscillating back and forth Stationary part would be pushed into the plate Use relative motion and high force in order to heat up the weld interface to the forging temperature creating a two piece forging Can use for complex geometry applications, in high volume applications, near net shape application example – jet engine blades, car frame

Editor's Notes
- #3 Forging – is the application of thermal and mechanical energy to steel billets or ingots to cause the material to change shape while in a solid state. - make or shape a metal by heating it in a fire or furnace and hammering it Welding – joining together metal parts by heating the surface to the point of melting, and uniting them by pressing, hammering Solid state welding – welding process which produces coalescence (combine together) at temperature essentially below the melting point of the base material being joined, without addition of brazing filler metal. Solid state welding examples – Friction, Ultrasonic, Diffusion, Explosive
- #4 Most common in use – Linear, Rotational, Stir welding processes Less common in use – Radial, orbiting Types are selected by considering geometry and material Basic geometry 1. bar to bar – inertia friction or hybrid friction – come under rotary 2. tube to tube – can use any method, large diameter use inertia or hybrid 3. tube to bar – inertia, hybrid, direct drive for small parts 4. bar to plate – direct drive, inertia, hybrid 5. tube to plate - interia
- #5 2nd point additional - because of pushing into the plate will create enough heat at the weld interface to forge the two parts together In car frame application – allow to reduce the mass that goes into the frame
- #8 When bar is significantly large, the amount of torque is increased, will cause electric motor to stall-- larger flywheel needed to overcome that torque peek Spindle bearings don’t like to be able to take force while rotating. That problems cause to birth the inertia friction welding Applications are varies with geometry, types of materials, One part should penetrate another one in order to get a successful weld Weld sheet and tube use inertia friction welding Weld two bars use direct drive welding – use electric motor to continuous energy applying methods, because the centre of the shafts have no relative motion Hybrid welding use both inertia and direct drive – have constant energy side of the direct drive process, using electric motor adding energy at the beginning, end with the flywheels and a fixed storage energy
- #9 Continuous drive friction welding
- #10 That pin is penetrate into the material should little shorter than the depth of material and as this is rotating it Can weld top and bottom in the case of this hollow extrusion Weld hollow extrusions in friction welding without using fusion welding. If use fusion welding, get melting, that means re-solidification, which is going to weaken the parent material. To get same strength fusion welding need more welding materials at the welding section. So adds mass. Stir welding can get same strength without adding more materials.
- #13 Resistance butt welding is used to join components of similar cross section by making a weld across the entire section in a single operation. Heat is produced in the weld region by resistance to the passage of the welding current through the parts, which are held under a present end force. As the material heats, the force forges the soft material to consolidate and complete the joint. Flash welding is a type of resistance welding that does not use any filler metals
