Abstract: Linear Friction Welding (LFW) is a unique welding process which enables dissimilar materials to be welded without filler material. In this study, bi-metallic Ti-64-CCM joints were manufactured utilizing LFW and subsequently analyzed. A coupled thermal-deformation model was created to accurately model both thermal and deformation profiles along the weld interface. Ti-64 and CCM stock were machined in accordance with ASTM standards for tensile testing. Temperature distribution of the two material surfaces were measured using an IR camera. Tensile testing was then performed to analyze weldability and bonding strength. A transient decoupled thermomechanical simulation model was generated to simulate the LFW process. The simulation model produced results within 5% error of both experimental results. The tensile testing results indicate that successful bonding of Ti-64 to CCM is possible for an oscillation amplitude of 2 mm under large forging pressure. The results also show that parameter optimization is essential for successful LFW, as the decrease in percent error from test set 1 to test set 4 was 62.5%. From the tensile testing and thermal data collected, it was concluded that bonding of Ti-64 to CCM via LFW is possible but further research into the necessary process parameters is needed.
