Abstract :

In recent years, friction welding (FW) has become increasingly widespread as a result of significant progress made in the area of industrial applications (IA). When joining two different types of metals, FW is one of the most efficient and cost-effective methods available. Within the scope of this investigation, the 2 metals that were subjected to FW were stainless steel (SS) & EN3B. The processing parameters that were applied included rotating speed, frictional time or pressure, as well as forging time or pressure. By adjusting the FW variables, this work aims to combine 2 distinct metals, namely SS & EN3B, and to increase their tensile strength (TS). The TS of the material was studied by conducting a series of experiments with different combinations of the process parameters. It was discovered that the process worked, and that the strength of the welded joints changed depending on how the process variables were set up. TS was used to test the welds, and the results were recorded in a table along with the input variables. The hardness distribution at the joint interface was noted and plotted a hardness peak was observed at interface. Micro structural observation was also done characterize the joint.
