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 …

Current understanding of the principles underlying the thermomechanical processing (TMP)
of α/β titanium alloys is reviewed. Attention is focused on the formulation of constitutive …

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 …

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 …

This paper aims at providing a state-of-the-art review of an increasingly important class of
joining technologies called solid-state (SS) welding, as compared to more conventional …

Linear friction welding (LFW) is a solid state joining process in which a joint between two
metals can be formed through the intimate contact of a plasticised layer at the interface of the …

The linear friction welding (LFW) process–of the type required for the production of bladed
discs for the next generation of civil aero-engines–is modelled using numerical and …

Electron backscattering diffraction (EBSD) was used to study a stationary shoulder friction
stir weld in Ti-6Al-4V. Weld temperatures exceeded the β-transus, resulting in a …

A detailed investigation for the influence of the forging pressure on the microstructural,
microhardness, and residual stress development in linear friction welded Ti–6Al–4V has …

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 …
