Thermal Analysis on Joining of Dissimilar Metals by Friction Stud Welding

Abstract:

Friction welding is a solid state joining technique used for joining similar and dissimilar materials with high integrity. This new technique is being successfully applied to the aerospace, automobile, and ship building industries, and is attracting more and more research interest. Owing to the significance, thermal analysis on friction stud welding of mild steel and aluminium combination is carried out in the present work. In this study the temperature profiles at different locations are predicted mathematically by using one dimensional finite element method.
