Diseño y construcción de un equipo para soldadura por fricción de torque continuo para el laboratorio de soldadura de la Carrera de Ingeniería Mecánica de la UPS Campus Kennedy

Abstract

Friction welding is a solid state process that produces a welded joint under a compressive force of contact between two work pieces which rotate or move from one to another using the heat generated by mechanical friction between moving parts. The desing and construction of this training equipment allows friction welding test on specimens of 15 mm in diameter using materials such as steel, copper and aluminum. This unit allows to control the machine´s rotation speed, the bonding pressure and the welding time, through a hydraulic system and a 3 hp motor to be controlled through an electrical panel which allows to program the on and of the equipment in a time set by the operator prior to starting process.
