Induction Pre-Heated Linear Friction Welding

Article Preview

Abstract:

A two-level factorial design of experiments (DOE) approach is used to study the effect of four factors (average rubbing velocity, weld pressure, burn-off distance, and preheat temperature) on two response variables (weld strength and energy input) for the induction heating and linear friction welding of AISI 1020 steel. Weld strength, as analyzed though three-point bending, was insensitive to all four of the design factors. Pressure, upset, and velocity show statistically significant inverse, linear, and linear relationships with energy used, respectively. Pressure has the largest effect on energy used, followed by velocity and upset.
