Research on model of plastic flow heat transfer during linear friction welding for low melting point metal

With the self-developed physical simulation equipment of linear friction welding, the plastic flow heat transfer simulation experiment of low melting point Lead metal was implemented. A physical model of plastic flow heat transfer of linear friction welding low melting point metal was established based on the process of the Lead metal plastic flow recorded by high speed digital camera and the Lead metal temperature variation recorded by infrared thermal imager. Introducing the plastic flow element into one-dimensional unsteady heat transfer differential equation, heat transfer mathematical model of plastic zone, perpendicular to the direction of vibration, was proposed. Using finite difference method to solve this mathematical model, calculated value of this model and measured temperature was compared. The results show that the two values correspond basically, which indicates that the proposed model could be used to characterize the process of heat transfer of plastic zone during linear friction welding low melting point metal.
