Friction Welding of Different Materials

In general, any machine part can be produced by one of various manufacturing methods such as forging, machining, casting and welding. Determination of the manufacturing method depends on production costs of the alternatives for individual parts. Frictionwelding which also is an alternative welding method, is widely used in production of machine parts having different crosssection or diameter in order to decrease manufacturing costs. For this reason, friction welding is getting higher share among the other welding methods. In the process, heat is generated by conversion of mechanical energy into thermal energy at the interface of the work pieces during rotation under pressure without use any energy from outside. Generally, frictionwelding method is divided by as continuous drive and inertia friction welding. In the presented study, it was given the knowledge about friction welded different materials by the author.
