Concept of forge application Under effect

of friction time for AISI 316 using friction


welding process

NAIT SLIMANE NIHED


M2/FMP
The present study describes the effect of forging application taking into account the

friction time on the metallurgy and mechanical property of the friction welded joint

for AISI 316. Three friction times (6.5 s, 8.5 s and 10 s) with two directions for this

study were used; the first direction was carried out by phase elimination forging and

the second was carried out under phase forging application. The macro-

microstructure for the welded joint, the micro hardness in the axial direction, the

tensile tests and the morphology of the tensile break were studied. In conclusion,

flash training was reduced by about 30% without forging compared to the forging

application.

Material and methods:


 Commercial austenitic stainless steel Cr-Ni-Mo used in this study has a

symbol of ASII 316.

 The microstructural and mechanical properties of AISI 316 were tested and

verified before the welding operation

 Welding operations were performed using a DDFW machine

 Friction and forging pressure were measured by hydraulic and electronic

system

 Under the effect of the friction time, two of the orientations were reached for

this study

 The first direction was obtained by eliminating the forging phase and the

second was carried out under the application of the forging phase

 metallographic and mechanical tests are performed to obtain the results to

understand and clarify the concept of forging application under the effect of

friction time on the force joint


 The NIKON SMZ 745 T device was used for macroscopic observations for

flash evaluation training.

 The NIKON ECLIPSE LV100ND device was used for the microstructure

observations

 Traction fracture surface observations were made for forging application

case using a scanning electron microscope (SEM) by the JEOL JSM-6360

device

 Vickers micro hardness measurements were made in the axial direction for

all welding conditions using SHIMADZU HMV test machine

 The INSTRON 5500 universal testing machine with a load capacity of ± 100 kN

was used for the tensile tests. The tests were carried out for all welding

conditions as well as for the metal base with a quasi-static strain rate of

0.0016 s - 1

Results and discussion:


 Figure 7 explains that with a longer friction time, a large amount of flash

metal is formed; thus, the thermoplastic

 The deformation in the joints obviously occurs at a longer rubbing time

because more softening metal occurs around the interface

 When the forge is eliminated, this leads to reducing the formation of flash by

at least 30%.

 Axial shortening tends to increase with increasing friction time

 showed that the amount of flash formation depended on the mechanical

properties of the metal to be welded


 The metallurgical study of figure 9 clearly shows the thermomechanically-

affected zone (TMAZ) in the central region of the welded joint. This

microstructure explains the rotation and pressure influence during the period

of friction without the application of forging.

 under forging effect (Fig. 10), strongly plastically deformed area

 The effect of the forging pressure creates a phenomenon of dynamic

recrystallization at the interface and illustrates the refinement of grains due

to this phenomenon

 dynamic recrystallization depends on several factors such as grain size,

deformation conditions, chemical composition and nature of crystal structure

 Micro hardness is measured in the axial direction for all welding conditions

as shown in Figs. 11, 12 and 13.

 with the application of forging, the amount of micro hardness increases with

a longer friction time, especially in the welding center due to thermoplastic

deformation and dynamic recrystallization

 hardening due to the application of forging leads to an increase in micro

hardness, in particular at the center of the weld

 The results of the tensile tests are shown in Table 4

 To get the high level of UTS, the friction time should be as short as possible,

while the rotational speed, friction and forging pressure should be as high as

possible

 Figure 17 shows the nature and position of the fracture

 Figure 18 illustrates the SEM observations of the nature of the fractures for

AISI 316 and 6.5 s under forging application


 Figure 19 illustrates a clear shape of the fingerprint for 10 s after application

of forge

Conclusions :

The present work analyzed the effect of friction time with and without forging

application and the results are summarized as follows :

When the forging is removed, it leads to reducing the amount of flash

formation by at least 30%, the axial shortening tends to increase with

increasing friction time.

TMAZ creates without application of forging due to sufficient amounts of

heat input that change the microstructure of the weld area to relatively

circular partially deformed grains whose diameter does not exceed 50 μm.
