description

Linear Friction Welding (LFW) is a solid-state joining process used for non-axisymmetric components. LFW involves joining of materials through the relative motion of two components undergoing an axial force. In the process, the heat source is given by the frictional forces work decaying into heat and determining a local softening of the material and eventually the needed bonding conditions. In the paper, an experimental and numerical campaign is proposed for AA2011 aluminum alloys welding. Different case studies are considered with fixed oscillation frequency and varying pressure at the interface between the specimens. Constant oscillation amplitude and specimens geometry is used. The calculated results permitted to highlight the effects of the process parameters on the material flow determining the soundness of the weld.
