The Importance of Materials Data and Modelling Parameters in an FE Simulation of Linear Friction Welding
Figure 5
(a) Thermal profiles predicted for 2D LFW simulation considering both sides of the weld, at three different pressures: (A) low pressure, (B) medium pressure, and (C) high pressure [13]. (b) Thermal profile predicted for 2D LFW simulation considering only one side of the weld, for Ti-6Al-4V, at different times during the process [6]. (c) Thermal profile on the weld interface for a 3D LFW simulation, considering a “blade-representative” geometry [12].
