 hISTORY
Friction welding was first developed in
the Soviet Union, with first
experiments taking place in 1956.
 What is friction welding
Friction welding is a metal joining
process in which the workpieces are
joined together by producing heat from
mechanical friction’
 WORKING PRINCIPLE
Friction welding works on principle of
friction. In this welding process, the
friction is used to generate heat at
material surfaces. This heat is then used to
join two work pieces by applying pressure
force at the surface of work piece
 HOW IT WORKS
First both work pieces are attach on the chucks One chuck is rotating
while the other one will remain stationary
Then one workpiece is rotated by chuck and apply little pressure force is
applied on stationary workpiece
Now a high pressure force applied to the stationary work piece which
force it toward rotating work piece and generates a high friction force.
This friction generates heat at the contact surface. It is applied until the
plastic forming temperature is obtained.
When temperature reached the desire limit and rotor is stopped and
then apply force until the whole weld is joined
Diagram of processes of friction welding
Continuous induced friction welding:
In this welding process rotor is connected to band
brake when friction crosses the plastic forming temperature then band come
into an action which stops the rotor but pressure force is applied on
stationary work piece until the weld form
Inertia friction welding:
In inertia friction welding the band brake is replaced by
the engine flywheel. The flywheel connect chuck to the motor.. When the speed
or friction reaches its limit, the engine flywheel separated from the motor. The
pressure force is applied to the work piece until the weld is formed
 APPLICATIONS
• Friction welding has many applications in daily life .
• It is used for welding of tubes and pipes.
• It is used in automobile, marine and oil industries.
• It is used in electrical industries for welding copper and aluminium
equipments and
• It is used in welding of pump shafts.
Any question….?
