Abstract

In order to investigate the complicated thermomechanically coupled process of linear friction welding (LFW), three different numerical methods were developed using the ABAQUS software. LFW steel and Ti-6Al-4V were calculated by using a 2D model with the explicit and implicit methods, respectively, and the calculated results were validated by experiments. In addition, a 3D model for LFW Ti-5Al-2Sn-2Zr-4Mo-4Cr was firstly acquired by using the newly developed explicit-implicit alternate method and the calculated flash seemed more like the real one. Furthermore, a few open questions and perspectives in LFW modeling are discussed and concluded.
