- Description: This thesis reports on a study conducted to establish the feasibility of implementing linear friction welding as a joining technique for small Ti6AI4V coupons. The main of this project is to facilitate the manufacturing of high-integrity near-net-shape components for aerospace, automotive and medical appliances. LFW is a solid-state welding technique that uses frictional heat generated by the rubbing of surfaces under an axially applied load, thereby forming a weld at temperature below beta tranus. This technique is advantageous as it has the potential to reduce defeats normally associated with conventional welding of this material. The first part of the study will describe the development of an experimental platform to facilitate the evaluation of the influence of selected process parameters on joint integrity.

- Description: Heat generation during the FTSW process plays and important role in determining the characteristics of the weld. In order to obtain temperature fields, a transient temperature heat analysis is required. An area is the maximum temperatures reached within the base material during the FTSW process. These temperatures will be measured during experimentation, and compared to the welding simulation done using FEA. From the literature search it appeared that no heat transfer analysis had been done using finite element methods.
