About This Lesson
- This project studies friction welding of two stainless-steel rods using Ansys Workbench.
- A coupled transient thermal and structural analysis was used to simulate heating, upsetting, and deformation.
- The model includes frictional contact, temperature-dependent material properties, and staged loading conditions.
- The results show strong temperature and stress concentration at the welding interface.
