Abstract

In this study, the interface characterization of friction welded AISI 1010 low carbon steel and copper alloys was investigated. The friction welding tests were performed by using a direct drive type friction welding machine. After friction welding, interface regions of the welded specimens were examined by optical microscopy, SEM-EDS, and X-ray analysis to determine the microstructural changes. Microhardness and tensile tests were conducted to determine mechanical properties of the welded specimens. The experimental results indicated that AISI 1010 low carbon steel could be joined to copper using the friction welding technique for achieving a weld with sufficient strength. Tensile strength values also confirmed this result and intermetallic phases did not occur at the interface.

Kurzfassung

In dieser Studie wurden die Grenzflächen von Reibschweißungen zwischen kohlenstoffarmem Stahl AISI 1010 und Kupferlegierungen charakterisiert. Die Reibschweißversuche erfolgten mit einer Reibschweißanlage mit Direktantrieb. Nach dem Reibschweißen wurden die Regionen der Grenzflächen der geschweißten Proben mittels Lichtmikroskopie, REM-EDS und Röntgenanalyse untersucht, um die aufgetretenen mikrostrukturellen Veränderungen zu bestimmen. Mikrohärte und Zugversuche wurden durchgeführt, um die mechanischen Eigenschaften der geschweißten Proben zu bestimmen. Die experimentellen Ergebnisse zeigten, dass mit dem Reibschweißverfahren kohlenstoffarmer Stahl AISI 1010 mit Kupfer gefügt werden kann und eine ausreichende Festigkeit der Schweißung erreicht wird. Die Werte der Zugfestigkeit bestätigten dieses Ergebnis. An der Grenzfläche traten keine intermetallischen Phasen auf.
