Abstract
Friction welding is one of the method to join two or more metals, similar or dissimilar, to accomplish a certain fabrication. Two methods of joining prevail, one by the fusion state and the other by the solid-state. The selection of the joining method depends upon the materials used and the required performance of the joint. Friction welding is the solid-state welding process preferable for joining similar and dissimilar metals. Ti Grade 2 and stainless steel 304L of different compositions are used in this welding by the copper interlayer methodology. This material composition of welding has been very challenging of late. Friction welding components are very popular in automobile components, like ball link joint, turbocharger shafts, clutch hub, and axles housing. In the nuclear industry, dissimilar pipe joints and transition joints are used for nuclear reactors. This article describes friction welding of titanium and stainless steel with copper as intermediate layer.
