Abstract

In this study, the effect of core bar inserted into weld faying part to obtain an ideal pipe joint with nongenerating inner flash via friction welding is described. A steel pipe with inner and outer diameters corresponding to 8.0 mm and 13.5 mm was used, and the weld faying surface was machined to a groove shape of a flat (butt) type. The core bar of various materials was inserted in the weld faying part of the pipes, and those pipes were welded with a friction speed of 27.5 s-1 and friction pressure of 30 MPa. The core bars did not decrease inner flash when joints were fabricated with a core bar of some metallic materials with melting points below that of steel; thus, they were melted during the welding process. The joint with an alumina core bar did not decrease inner flash and was crushed by generating an inner flash. However, a commercially pure tungsten (CP-W) core bar was successfully achieved for decreasing the inner flash. Additionally, all joints with a CP-W core bar did not exhibit the tensile strength of the base metal and a fracture in the base metal, when they were fabricated during the same time, the friction torque reached the initial peak. The joint exhibited a fracture in the base metal when it was fabricated with a CPW core bar and a taper groove shape that was proposed in the previous study. Furthermore, the core bars were easily removed from the joints; thus the joint with almost no inner flash was successfully obtained. To reduce the inner flash of pipe joints, they should be fabricated with a CP-W core bar inserted into the weld faying part with a taper groove shape.
