Friction welding (FW) is a high quality, nominally solid-state joining process, which produces
welds of high structural integrity. Rotary friction welding (RFW) is the most commonly used …

Linear friction welding (LFW) is a solid-state joining process that is an established
technology for the fabrication of titanium alloy bladed disks (blisks) in aero-engines. Owing …

Ni-based superalloys are one of the most important materials employed in high-temperature
applications within the aerospace and nuclear energy industries and in gas turbines due to …

Inertia and linear friction welding are being increasingly used for near-net-shape
manufacturing of high-value materials in aerospace and power generation gas turbines …

The linear friction welding (LFW) process is finding increasing interest from industry for the
fabrication of near-net-shape, titanium alloy Ti–6Al–4V, aerospace components. Currently …

This paper presents a thorough investigation of the influence of the applied pressure on the
behavior and distribution of residual stress (RS) within linear friction welded medium carbon …

Linear friction welding (LFW) is a solid-state joining process that is finding increasing
interest from industry for the fabrication of titanium alloy (Ti–6Al–4V) preforms. Currently, the …

The formation of internal stresses during quenching of titanium alloys from the β phase field
are investigated both experimentally and by simulation, in order to show the effects of phase …

In this study, Ti6Al4V rods were butt-welded by rotary friction welding. The experimental
results show that the weld quality, in terms of the tensile strength and hardness, decreases …

The evolution of residual stress and microstructure has been investigated in electron-beam
welded Ti-6Al-4V alloy rings in order to develop an understanding of how the distribution of …
