Welding is a fabrication or sculptural process that joins materials,
usually metals or thermoplastics, by causing coalescence. This is often
done by melting the work pieces and adding a filler material to form a
pool of molten material (the weld pool) that cools to become a strong
joint, with pressure sometimes used in conjunction with heat, or by itself,
to produce the weld. Many different energy sources can be used for
welding, including a gas flame, an electric arc, a laser, an electron
beam, friction, and ultrasound. While often an industrial process,
welding may be performed in many different environments, includingopen air, under water and in outer space.

A simple explanation defines the friction welding process as rotating one
component against a fixed component under pressure. This action
efficiently prepares and cleans the weld interface, and generatessufficient low temperature, frictional heat, for at least one of the
materials to become plastic at the joint interface. This "Solid State" (non-
melting), joining process produces a merging between the materials via
the heat developed by the induced rubbing motion, and the applied loadbetween the two surfaces. At this point, rotation stops rapidly and the
components are forged together.

DEFINITION OF FRICTION WELDING
Friction welding is asolid state joiningprocess thatproducescoalescence by theheat developedbetween two
surfaces bymechanicallyinduced surfacemotion.

CONTINUOUS DRIVE FRICTION WELDING
One of the workpiecesis attached to arotating motor drive,
the other is fixed in anaxial motion system.
One work piece isrotated at constant
speed by the motor. An axial or radial force
is applied.

CONTINUOUS DRIVE FRICTION WELDING
The work pieces arebrought togetherunder pressure for a
predeter-mined time,or until a presetupset is reached.
Then the drive is
disengaged and abreak is applied tothe rotating workpiece.

1. The properties of the steel depends upon the microstructure.
decreasing the size of the grains and decreasing the amount of
pearlite improves the strength, ductility and the toughness of the
steel.
2. The dark regions are the cementite. It is made up from a fine mixture
of ferrite and iron carbide, which can be seen as a "wormy" texture.3. The light colored region of the microstructure is the ferrite. The grain
boundaries between the ferrite grains can be seen quite clearly.
4. The group agrees to the fact that strength increases with decrease in
pearlite structure because in our project we see after the welding
pearlite structure reduces and torsional strength increases

During tensile testing of a material sample, the stressstrain curve is a
graphical representation of the relationship between stress, derived from
measuring the load applied on the sample, and strain, derived from
measuring the deformation of the sample, i.e. elongation, compression,
or distortion. The slope of stress-strain curve at any point is calledthe tangent modulus; the slope of the elastic (linear) portion of the curve
is a property used to characterize materials and is known as the Young's
modulus. The area under the elastic portion of the curve is known as the
modulus of resilience.
The nature of the curve varies from material to material. The following
diagrams illustrate the stressstrain behaviour of typical materials in
terms of the engineering stress and engineering strain where the stress
and strain are calculated based on the original dimensions of the sample
and not the instantaneous values.
Mild steel generally exhibits a very linear stress strain relationship up to

Mild steel generally exhibits a very linear stressstrain relationship up to
a well defined yield point. The linear portion of the curve is the elastic
region and the slope is the modulus of elasticity or Young's Modulus.
After the yield point, the curve typically decreases slightly .As
deformation continues, the stress increases on account of strainhardening until it reaches the ultimate strength. Until this point, the
cross-sectional area decreases uniformly because of Poisson
contractions. The actual rupture point is in the same vertical line as the
visual rupture point.
However, beyond this point a neck forms where the local cross-sectional
area decreases more quickly than the rest of the sample resulting in an
increase in the true stress. ,curve is plotted in terms of true stress and true
strain the stress will continue to rise until failure. Eventually the neck
becomes unstable and the specimen ruptures (fractures).
