Abstract

The objective of the present study is to establish an accurate model for heat flux during continuous-drive rotary friction welding (RFW) of 304 stainless steel. RFW experiments were conducted over a wide range of friction pressure (25 MPa ∼ 160 MPa) and rotation speed (500 rpm ∼ 2000 rpm), which are the main parameters that affect the heat flux during continuous-drive rotary friction welding process. The evolution characteristics of experimental heat flux data were analyzed. Then, the influence of friction pressure and rotation speed on the characteristic value of heat flux was investigated. Based on the experimental heat flux data, a model for heat flux as a function of friction pressure and rotation speed was constructed. Finally, the model was proved to be accurate through additional experiments.
