Abstract

The research article deals with the corrosion behaviors of friction welded AISI 52100 grade high carbon and low chromium steel joints. In recent decade, plain carbon steels are replaced with AISI 52100 grade steel in automotive and aerospace sectors to overcome the corrosion defects. In general, the corrosion attacks are more susceptible in joints . Therefore, in this research work, the corrosion behavior of joints was analyzed in its interface and also the relationship between continuous drive friction welding parameters and properties of weld zone are established. The joints were prepared by varying the friction welding process parameters to optimize the required number of experiments. To predict the optimum properties of fully deformed zone, the empirical relationships were developed. The grain size was measured at various zones and the corresponding properties of the joints were analyzed by using scanning electron microscope, optical microscopy, and EDAX.
