An Effect of Process Parameter
on Physical Appearance of Deposited
Friction Surfaced Layer: A Feasibility
Approach
Kedar Badheka and Vishvesh J. Badheka
Abstract Friction surfacing (FS) is a practice of producing solid-state coating with
the higher metallic strength and forged micro-structure. In friction surfacing produces
metallic coating with minimum dilution. Deposition of aluminium alloy (AA) on
a mild-steel plate has a vital application in surface engineering field, perhaps in
the general fusion-based welding processes it might be not possible due to they
both are chemically immiscible to each other and form iron aluminide. Friction
surfacing of aluminium on mild-steel substrate in solid-state condition is the attractive
and workable option. Rotating consumable rod is rubbed on the substrate, while
temperature, pressure and axial load are playing a crucial role to form visco-plastic
boundary layer at the consumable rod tip. AA 6351 T6 as a consumable rod with
22 mm diameter and SA 516 Gr 70 6 mm plate is used as a steel substrate. By
using different parameters, rotational speed, travers speed, tilt angle and with rate of
feeding a set of trials are performed. Effect of friction surfacing parameters on bond
width, bond length and consumable rod ring shape investigated experimentally. Final
set of parameters is obtained with effective bonding.
