Abstract

Being widely used in automotive, machinery, aviation and aerospace industry, solid-sate friction welding was applied in this study. AISI 420 martensitic stainless steel, being difficult to be joined by using fusion welding methods, was joined by friction welding. During the welding process, three rotational speeds (R) of 700, 1000 and 1300 rpm were used and other parameters such as friction pressure (Fp), friction time (Ft), upsetting pressure (Up) and upsetting duration (Ud) were kept constant. After the welding process, a torsion test was performed with these samples. The torsion angle (Ta) – torque (T) graphics of the samples were evaluated. Additionally, the fracture surface of the samples was examined by using SEM. As a result, it was observed that the AISI 420 steel was welded without problems by using friction welding. During the torsion tests, the samples fractured outside the welded joint zones. Thus, it was concluded that torsional strength of the welded joints was high.

Kurzfassung

Das Reibschweißen im festen Zustand ist weit verbreitet im Automobil-, Maschinen- und Luftfahrzeugbau und wurde in der diesem Beitrag zugrunde liegenden Studie angewandt. Der hochlegierte martensitische Stahl AISI 420, der schwierig mit Hilfe von Schmelzschweißprozessen zu verbinden ist, wurde reibgeschweißt. Während des Schweißprozesses wurden verschiedene Rotationsgeschwindigkeiten von 700, 1000 und 1300 U·min−1 angewandt und es wurden andere Parameter, wie der Reibdruck, die Reibzeit, der Anfahrdruck und die Anfahrdauer konstant gehalten. Nach dem Schweißprozess wurde mit diesen Proben ein Torsionsversuch durchgeführt. Es wurden die Torsionswinkel-Drehmoment-Grafiken evaluiert. Zusätzlich wurden die Bruchoberflächen mittels REM untersucht. Als ein Ergebnis stellte sich heraus, dass der Stahl AISI 420 mittels Reibschweißen ohne Schwierigkeit verbunden werden kann. Während der Torsionsversuche brachen die Proben außerhalb der Schweißverbindungen. Daraus wurde geschlossen, dass die Torsionsfestigkeit der Schweißverbindungen hoch genug war.
