Evaluation of Mechanical Property of Friction Welded EN24 Steel Joints

摘要

EN24 steel is widely used in many engineering applications such as shaft, axle and fasteners due to high tensile strength and low cost. Friction welding is generally used to join the similar and dissimilar materials. The present work investigates on the mechanical properties of friction welded EN 24 steel joints. The effects of the four main parameters: friction duration, forging time, friction pressure and forging pressure on the mechanical properties of the weld such as hardness and axial shortening are studied experimentally and analyzed using ANOVA statistics.
