Abstract
Friction welding is widespread used in various industries nowadays. In the friction welding, heat is generated by conversion of mechanical energy into thermal energy at the interface of the work pieces during rotation under pressure. Generally, friction welding can easily be used to joint the components that have circular or non-circular cross sections. Friction time, friction pressure, forging time, forging pressure and rotation speed are the most interesting parameters in friction welding method. High material save, low production time and low energy expenditure are some of the other advantages of friction welding. The main aim of the present study is to prepare a computer program simulating how to occur the weld flashes in the welded joints having equal diameter or different diameter, AISI 1040 (medium carbon steel). The properties of the program are such as below: The program was coded with Microsoft(R) Visual Basic(TM) 6.0 The Models 3D are prepared with 3D Studio Max(R) R3 While some coatings are prepared Paint Shop Pro(TM) 7.0 and made optimize, some coatings are obtained from library of 3D Studio Max(R) and, the running of the program, volume deformation functions found and various simulation examples were given in this study. Then, obtained results were compared with those of the experiments. (C) 2004 Published by Elsevier B.V.
