Experimental and Numerical Study of Friction Welding Mixing of a Thermoplastic

EasyChair Preprint 6982

Abstract

This work focuses on the experimental and numerical study of mixing friction welding, a series of different experimental tests were carried out to optimize the parameters of mixing friction welding (rotation speed, welding speed and shape of the tool). We use 3 shapes of tools (square tool with flat shoulder, conical tool with flat shoulder and conical tool with concave shoulder). In this respect, a numerical approach has been studied to know the effect of welding parameters on the weld state. This approach is based on the Eulerian-Lagrangain Coupled Method (CEL), Johnson-Cook Material Behavior Law, Coulomb Friction Law and a finite element method developed under the ABAQUS/Explicit code.
