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.
 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
