摘要

This study investigates the Mechanical and Metallurgical Analysis of Preheated AISI 304/316 Rotary Friction Welded Joints. The welding process was performed under varying rotational speeds (692, 832, and 1228 RPM), burn-off lengths (6, 9, and 12 mm), and forge times (30-60 sec). Tensile strength analysis revealed that the highest tensile stress of 489.19 MPa was obtained at 1228 RPM, 12 mm burn-off length, and a forge time of 50-60 sec, as determined using signal-to-noise ratio analysis in Minitab software. Micro-hardness analysis demonstrated that hardness peaked at the weld interface, with values increasing with burn-off length and rotational speed, reaching a maximum of 309 HV. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS) analysis confirmed a transition from brittle to ductile fracture with increasing welding temperature, attributed to the formation of an FCC (Face-Centered Cubic) structure at elevated temperatures. The study concludes that preheating significantly influences the mechanical properties and fracture behaviour of welded joints, making it a viable approach for enhancing weld quality in industrial applications.
