An Approach to the Design Analysis for Continuous Drive Friction Welding Machine

Abstract

Friction welding (F.W) is a process to successfully join a wide variety of similar and dissimilar metal rods with high energy efficiency. Various ranges of the F. W. machines are now in use in various parts of the world. In India, some automobile manufacturing industries use imported Friction Welding machines. The indegenous machines are yet to be developed, this article deals with the design analysis and scope of indegenous development of Continuous Drive F. W. machines.
