Friction Welding:
Friction welding (FRW) is a class of solid-state welding processes that generates heat through mechanical friction between a moving workpiece and a stationary component, with the addition of a lateral force called "upset" to plastically displace and fuse the materials.The stages of friction welding is shown in figure below.
Friction welding is used with metals and thermoplastics in a wide variety of aviation and automotive applications.
Advantages of friction welding:-
>Enables joining of dissimilar materials .
>Creates narrow, heat-affected zone.
>Consistent and repetitive process.
>Joint preparation is minimal.
>Faster Turn-around Times.
>Greatly increases design flexibility.
>Suitable for diverse quantities.
>No fluxes, filler material, or gases required.
>Environmentally friendly process .
>Reduces machining labor.
