what is continuous drive friction welding ?

Continuous drive friction welding is a highly efficient and consistently reliable metal joining process. By generating heat near the melting point through friction between two metal materials, the rotating friction welder applies forging pressure during the plastic deformation stage. This causes molecular diffusion and interpenetration of the materials. Upon cooling and recrystallization, a solid-state welded joint is formed free of oxides, porosity, or contamination.

Rotary friction welding achieves solid-state bonding while metals remain in a thermoplastic state. The welded joint exhibits physical and mechanical properties nearly identical to the base materials, offering high welding efficiency, consistent quality, and product uniformity. It also enables the joining of dissimilar metals.

Due to its advantages of high efficiency, energy savings, and economic benefits, the rotary friction welding machine is widely applied in industries such as aerospace, nuclear energy, marine development, new energy, power generation, machinery manufacturing, oil drilling, and automotive manufacturing.

Process Steps for continuous drive friction welding

Preheating Stage

When subjected to axial pressure, the metal materials come into contact. The rotating end rotates at low or high speed to press against the stationary end metal material. Upon contact, the rotational kinetic energy is converted into thermal energy through friction. As the temperature approaches the metal's melting point, the material enters a thermoplastic state.

Melting Stage

The continuously increasing axial forging pressure boosts friction kinetic energy, causing material temperature to rise steadily and the heated zone to expand. The melted material is extruded by the top pressure, with molecules diffusing and interpenetrating until the weld forms a unified structure. During this stage, axial pressure and feed distance are precisely controlled. Once the predetermined distance and weld dimensions are achieved, the melting stage is completed.

Welding Stage

During this stage, rotation must be paused while applying increased axial forging force to the components. This action aligns the metal molecules uniformly and fuses them more tightly together. Upon cooling, the components are forged into a single, integrated structure, thereby completing the rotational friction welding process.
