Estudio de la soldabilidad entre un acero inoxidable y un acero al carbono mediante el proceso de soldadura por fricción

Abstract

In the present study, the behavior of a welded joint of dissimilar steels using the friction welding process was analyzed, the relationship between the parameters that govern the quality of the weld and its optimum values were determined, in order to ensure a reliable union that in turn represents an applicable alternative in the industry. Through the use of destructive and non-destructive testing in addition to a metallographic analysis it was possible to obtain results that allowed to know both the mechanical behavior of the weld and the resulting microstructure of the materials used. In addition, the results obtained in this paper were compared with those presented using the SMAW process and it can be said that the friction welded joint has the same and even better characteristics than this.
