Comparative Study of Ti Alloy and Stainless Steel 304L Friction Welded Joint with Different Interlayer Process Methods

Abstract:

Rotary Friction welding is a process of solid state joining, broadly in shaft and pipe weld, in the field of automobile, defence, aeronautical, chemical and nuclear environment assembly pipe lines. Due to its some distinctive advantages similar to ease of fabricate, environmentally sociable, high fabrication value and appropriate for similar, dissimilar metal joint. Now a day’s Titanium alloy and stainless steel materials are very popular material in industrial application due to its high mechanical potency, and non-corrosive in nature. In this study an attempt was made to join commercial rod of Ti-6Al-4V and Stainless steel304L with some methods and evaluates the joint strength. Different intermediate metals are taking on in this process and the outcomes are witnesses. From that study the best method of in-between metal was analyzed by carry out mechanical and metallurgical test.
