Abstract

Friction welding is a common practice to join axially symmetrical parts for automobile industry applications. The shaft for automobile reverse idle gear is generally produced by forging steel, SF 45. This method is not so good because of high cost of material and production. In this study, in order to investigate the possibility of application of SM 45C to SF 45 dissimilar friction welding, the dissimilar friction welded joints were performed using 20 mm diameter solid bar in forging steel(SF 45) to carbon steel(SM 45C). The optimal friction welding parameters were selected to ensure reliable quality welds on the basis of visual examination, tensile test, micro-Virkers hardness surveys of the bond of area and optical microstructure investigations for welded joint parts. Finally, post weld heat treatment(PWHT) of the high-frequency induction hardening was performed for the friction welded specimens under the optimal welding conditions. And then, the mechanical properties were compared for as-welded and PWHT in SM 45C to SF 45.

자동차 후진기어용 축재는 단조재로서 그 형상은 복잡하고 열처리 및 가공공정이 어려울 뿐 아니라, 제품수명 저하 등의 문제점으로 인한 경제적 손실이 크다. 따라서 종전의 일체형 단조품을 캠 형상 부분만을 기존의 단조품(SF 45)으로 사용하고, 나머지 축 부분은 일반 기계구조용 탄소강재(SM 45C)로 대체를 위한 이종마찰용접을 적용하였다. 마찰용접 변수인 회전수, 마찰압력, 업셋압력, 가열시간, 업셋시간 등의 상호작용에 의한 용접품질과의 상관관계를 고찰하였으며, 최적조건에서 마찰용접을 한 후 용접재(as-welded)와 고주파 열처리를 시행한 후열처리재(PWHT)의 접합부 특성을 비교 고찰하였다. 이는 종전의 일체형 단조품에 비해 단조비용 절감, 피로수명향상, 기계가공에 따른 공정수 및 재료절감 등의 경제적 파급효과가 클 것으로 기대된다.
