    Friction welding is a welding process that uses friction to heat two components to the point of plasticity and forging them together under pressure. There are two types of friction welding: conventional drive friction welding where one component is rotated and the other is pressed against it to generate heat, and inertia welding where kinetic energy from a rotating flywheel is used to heat the components. Key variables in the process are the relative velocity between the components, the heating and forging pressure applied, and the duration of heating.

    1.2.5.2 Friction welding


    Friction between the two welding faces is used to create heat to the extent that
    the material at the two surfaces become plastic. Welding is effected by applying
    axial force. A schematic diagram of the friction welding process is shown in Fig.
    1.23.
    The friction welding process is divided into two distinct modes:
    (a) conventional drive friction welding, and
    (b) inertia welding
    In the conventional drive friction welding, the pieces are axially aligned. One
    component is rotated at a constant speed by a direct drive while the other is moved
    into contact with the former under axial pressure. Sufficient time is allowed for
    heat generation, so that the interfacial temperature will make the material plastic
    and permit the components to be forged together. At this stage the rotation is
    rapidly stopped while the pressure is still maintained to consolidate the joint.
    Though the basic principle is the same, in the inertia welding kinetic energy
    from a rotating flywheel system is used to heat the faces of components to be
    welded. One component will be attached to the flywheel rotating at high speed.
    The other component will be brought to face the first, so that friction between the
    two will generate heat. The flywheel energy will be utilized to obtain a good bond
    between the components.
    The principal variables in this process are the relative velocity, heating and
    forging pressure and the duration of heating. The secondary factors are pressure
    build up during heating and forging, deceleration during braking and the properties
    of the material being welded. Peripheral speeds in the range of 75 to 105 meters
    per minute appear to give satisfactory welds. Too high a speed may result in a
    wide HAZ. Lower speeds will not be able to generate sufficient heat and raise the
    temperature upto the required level. The forging pressure depends on the hot
