Özet

Friction welding (FW) is an extremely economical and efficient method for jointing similar or dissimilar metals. This technique is frequently preferred in the automotive and aviation sectors. It offers an effective solution to overcome the difficulties encountered in jointing materials with different physical properties. In this study, AISI 430/HARDOX 450 steels were joined by friction welding using different speeds. The structural changes in the welded joints were assessed by scanning electron microscope (SEM), energy dispersive spectrometry (EDS), elemental mapping, and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis. In addition, tensile test, notch impact test, and microhardness test were applied to the samples. Fracture surface examinations after the notch impact test were performed by SEM. Macroscopically, the samples were uniformly combined in all cycle variables. At higher rotational speeds, the deformation between the two metals increased, producing stronger joints.
