摘要: A method for friction welding of inter alia coarse grain superalloy components, involving conditioning a shear zone of components to be welded by; a) pre-determining temperature profile for which the material of the shear zone of the components approaches viscoplasticity but does not undergo undesirable phase transformations, b) introducing friction at one or both surfaces of the components to be welded to provide a pre-defined quantum of energy sufficient to generate a peak temperature of the temperature profile at that surface whilst simultaneously applying pressure to the surfaces which is below a pressure which will cause upset at the surface, c) withdrawing the friction and/or pressure allowing the heat to disperse by conduction through the shear zone; d) after the temperature at the surface falls below peak temperature, repeating steps b) and c); and repeating step d) as necessary until the pre-determined temperature gradient is achieved throughout the shear zone.

摘要: A rotary friction welding process is provided, including: providing a first axisymmetric workpiece having a first annular weld surface, and a second axisymmetric workpiece having a second annular weld surface; and rotationally welding the workpeices. On the longitudinal section through the aligned workpieces, each of the first and second annular weld surfaces is flanked by radially inner and outer side surfaces, the first weld surface and its side surfaces being shaped to thermally match the second weld surface and its side surfaces across a line of initial contact of the first and second weld surfaces such the heat flows from the weld at all the side surfaces are substantially equal.

摘要: A method for welding together pieces which form a curved or angled end product using a friction welding process. The method includes: providing first and second pieces which together define the end product geometry, each piece including an end product geometry portion and a sacrificial weld portion, the sacrificial weld portion forming a dog-leg relative to the end product geometry portion and terminating in a planar weld interface surface. The pieces are arranged with their planar weld interface surfaces together at a weld surface interface and the sacrificial weld portions in coaxial alignment. Mechanical friction is applied between the planar weld interface surfaces sufficient to plastically deform the sacrificial weld portions. An axial force is applied along the co-axis of the sacrificial weld portions sufficient to upset the sacrificial weld portions and bring together the end product geometry portions. The sacrificial geometry portions are removed to provide the end product.

摘要: A method (56) for fabricating an integral assembly (24) is disclosed. The method comprises providing (56) a first workpiece (26) having a first surface and a second workpiece (30) having a second surface (54), performing a first bonding process between the first surface of the first workpiece (26) and the second surface (54) of the second workpiece (30) the bulk material of the first workpiece having a friction weld property that makes it more difficult to weld than a friction weld property at the surface.

摘要: A workpiece for use with a friction welding process comprises a weld surface. The weld surface comprises a central ridge surface extending along the weld surface, with the central ridge surface being flanked on either side respectively by a first pyramidal surface and a second pyramidal surface. The first pyramidal surface subtends a first pyramidal angle with the central ridge surface, and the second pyramidal surface subtends a second pyramidal angle with the central ridge surface. The first pyramidal surface is further flanked by a third pyramidal surface, and the second pyramidal surface is further flanked by a fourth pyramidal surface, with the third pyramidal surface subtending a third pyramidal angle with the central ridge surface, and the fourth pyramidal surface subtending a fourth pyramidal angle with the central ridge surface. Each of the third pyramidal angle and the fourth pyramidal angle is less than 90°.

摘要: A friction welding process includes: providing a first workpiece having a first weld surface, and a second workpiece having a second weld surface; aligning the workpieces with the weld surfaces facing each other, moving one workpiece relative to the other workpiece, and engaging the first and second weld surfaces such that the movement raises the temperature at the weld surfaces to create a weld interface; and ceasing the movement and allowing the weld interface to cool to weld the workpieces together at the interface. The first workpiece has a plurality of flash removal channels formed in and/or adjacent to the first weld surface. The channels provide pathways for ejection of material from the weld interface during welding.
