2.5.1 Continuous Drive Friction Welding: -
In continuous friction welding one of the work pieces is attached to a rotating motor drive
the other is fixed in an axial motion system and one work piece is rotated at constant speed
by the motor. The Two work pieces are brought together under pressure for a pre-
determined time, or until a preset upset are reached. Then the Rotating power is
disengaged from the rotating piece and the pressure is increased. When the rotating piece
stops, the weld is completed. This process can be accurately controlled when speed,
pressure, and time are closely regulated
In Inertia welding, one of the work pieces is connected to a flywheel the other is clamped in
a non rotating axial drive. A flywheel is revolved by a motor until a preset speed is reached.
It, in turn, rotates one of the pieces to be welded. The motor is disengaged from the
flywheel and the other part to be welded is brought in contact under pressure with the
rotating piece. During the predetermined time during which the rotational speed of the part
is reduced, the flywheel is brought to an immediate stop. Additional pressure is provided to
complete the weld.
