Abstract


Rotary friction welding is a process of joining two components made of metallic or plastic materials, due to the heat generated by rotating one component relative to the other and pressing one part against the other, while one of them remains in a fixed position. From a practical perspective, it is of interest to evaluate the magnitude of the axial force of pressing one part against the other. The problem addressed here is the design of a device to evaluate the effects of various factors on the magnitude of the axial force in rotary friction welding. The gradual outline of a constructive solution was possible by applying some principles of axiomatic design. To obtain additional information about the rotary friction welding process, the welding of two aluminium rods was considered. Additional verification of some hypotheses was possible using the finite element method.
