 WELDING
Welding is a process for joining two similar or
dissimilar material by fusion.

Classification of welding
The welding processes are divided into three
main sub-classes: Plastic (forge) , Fusion
and Solid State
DIFFERENT TYPES OF
WELDING PROCESSES
1. Arc Welding
2. Oxy Fuel Gas Welding
3. Resistance Welding
4. Thermit Welding
5. Radiant Energy Welding
6. Solid State Welding
 SOLID STATE
WELDING PROCESSES
This group of welding processes uses
pressure and heat (below the melting
temperature) to produce coalescence
between the pieces to be joined without
the use of filler metal.
 FRICTION WELDING
Friction Welding is a solid
sate welding process
Where in coalescence is
produced by the heat
obtained from mechanically
induced sliding motion
between rubbing surfaces.
 INTRODUCATION
Friction stir welding is a relatively new solid-
state joining process.
This joining technique is energy efficient,
environment friendly, and versatile. In
particular, it can be used to join high-strength
aerospace aluminum alloys and other metallic
alloys.
 FRICTION STIR
WELDING
Friction stir welding (FSW) is
a solid state joining process
(the metal is not melted) that
uses a third body tool to join
two facing surfaces. Heat is
generated between the tool
and material.
 FRICTION STIR
WELDING PROCESS
 Friction stir welding is a new solid state joining process.

 Here a cylindrical shouldered tool along with a profiled

probe is rotated and fed at a constant traverse rate in to
the joint.

 Frictional heat generated between the wear resistant

welding tool and the work piece along with mechanical
mixing heat causes the stirred material to soften without
reaching.
 TOOLS USED FOR
FRICTION STIR WELDING
 High speed steel is used for welding aluminium
 For welding steel and tungsten alloys tungsten and
iridium alloy based tool is used.

Self Reacting Pin Tool Fixed Pin Tool Adjustable Pin Tool
 ADVANTAGES AND
DISADVANTAGES
ADVANTAGES
 Low distortion and shrinkage
 No arc and no porosity
 Can operate in all position
 Energy efficient
 Good mechanical properties fatigue, tensile and
bend test
DISADVANTAGES

 Work pieces must be rigidly clamped

 Keyhole at the end of each weld

 Cannot make joints which required

metal deposition
 Initial cost of the machine is very high
compared by fusion welding
 APPLICATIONS

1. Ship building and marine

industries
2. Aerospace industry
3. Railway and land transport.
 LIMITATIONS
 Work pieces must be rigidly clamped
 Key holes at the end of each weld

 Less flexible than manual and arc

processes
