What friction welding is

Friction welding is a solid-state joining process that produces coalescence in materials, using the heat developed between surfaces through a combination of mechanically induced rubbing motion and applied load. The resulting joint is of forged quality. Under normal conditions, the faying surfaces do not melt. Filler metal, flux and shielding gas are not required with this process.

Dissimilar Materials

Even metal combinations not normally considered compatible can be joined by friction welding, such as aluminum to steel, copper to aluminum, titanium to copper and nickel alloys to steel. As a rule, all metallic engineering materials which are forgeable can be friction welded, including automotive valve alloys, maraging steel, tool steel, alloy steels and tantalum. In addition, many castings, powder metals and metal matrix composites are weldable.

Advantages

Savings—Cost, Time, Material

Since dissimilar materials can be joined, a significant cost savings is possible because engineers can design bimetallic parts that use expensive materials only where needed. Expensive forgings and castings can be replaced with less expensive forgings welded to bar stock, tubes, plates and the like.

Substantial time savings are realized since the process is significantly faster than more conventional methods of welding.

Friction welding produces forged quality joints, with a 100% butt joint weld through the contact area. This solid section shows the narrow heat-affected weld zone and resulting displaced material (flash).
