The friction welding of Zr55Al10Ni5Cu30 bulk metallic glasses (BMG) has been tried. An apparatus for the friction welding of BMGs adopting a pneumatic cylinder and gripper based on a conventional lathe, and a welding process which provides a sufficient cooling rate after welding were devised. Friction time and friction pressure were chosen as the control parameters in the friction welding proce...

Friction welding of cast Fe-40Al alloy was carried out at 1000 rmp for various friction times, friction pressures, and forging pressures. The microstructures of the interface of welded samples were analyzed by optical and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Micrographs demonstrated that excellent welding formed continuously along the interface, except for samples welded for 3 s. Chemical compos...

A general interface element is developed for dynamic response analysis of structures with jointed interfaces, which can account for damping due to both impact and friction. Contact effects are included through a segment-to-segment contact model which considers the stick-slip-slap behavior at every point along the joint interface. A nonlinear friction law is adopted at the interface to describe ...

there are many parameters that affect the sheet hydroforming process such as fluid pressure, material properties, interfacial friction between blank and tool surfaces, etc. in this paper, a fem-based taguchi method is used to determine the effects of forming parameters on the quality of part formability in the process of hydrodynamic deep drawing assisted by radial pressure. four important form...

The purpose of this work was to join and assess the development of solid state joints of dissimilar material AA6082 aluminum alloy and AISI 304 stainless steel, via continuous drive friction welding process, which combines the heat generated from friction between two surfaces and plastic deformation. Tests were conducted with different welding process parameters. The results were analyzed by me...

In the analysis of orthogonal cutting process using FE simulations, predictions are greatly influenced by two major factors; a) flow stress characteristics of work material at cutting regimes and b) friction characteristics mainly at the chip-tool interface. The influence of work material flow stress upon FE simulations may be less or even none when there is a constitutive model for work materi...

in all engineering applications where solid surfaces slide on each other, friction plays an important role. it becomes even more important, particularly in metal forming processes where the two sliding materials are metallic. among forming processes, forging is an important process, because of improving material structure, mechanical properties and reducing production time. an inverse analysis ...

Analytical and numerical modeling of the nonlinear interaction of shear wave with a frictional interface is presented. The system studied is composed of two homogeneous and isotropic elastic solids, brought into frictional contact by remote normal compression. A shear wave, either time harmonic or a narrow band pulse, is incident normal to the interface and propagates through the contact. Two f...
