Abstract

Abstract Friction welding is widely used to join dissimilar metals and materials. In this study, factorial design of experiments was performed with 3 varying levels of control parameters and 9 experiments to join 304L stainless steel and heat treated EN14 steel. The welding parameters such as friction pressure, upset pressure, burn-off length and rotational speed are considered to determine the effect of tensile strength. As the bond strength varies with different friction welding conditions, tensile strength is evaluated on the weld joint of each specimen. Results revealed that low friction pressure at higher burn off length and high speed results in increased tensile strength. The effect of friction welding parameters is also evaluated in tensile strength for finding the optimal parameter using statistical analysis.
