Friction stud welding is a solid phase welding technique involving a stud, appurtenance or small pipe fitting being rotated at high speed while being forced against a substrate materials science substrate , generating heat by friction . The metal surfaces reach a temperature at which they flow plastic deformation plastically under pressure, surface impurities are expelled and a forging forged weld is formed. Image FrictionStudWeld.jpg thumb A friction stud weld. This technique is rather more costly than stud welding arc stud welding and is therefore used for special applications where arc welding may present problems, such as welding underwater welding on live subsea pipelines to attach cathodic protection anodes welding in explosive environments and zoned areas welding materials that are difficult to join by fusion welding processes friction plug welding welding pipe fittings onto flat or curved surfaces Portable equipment for friction stud welding is available for use on construction work sites, offshore construction offshore , underwater and in workshops. These portable units are much lighter and smaller than the large static friction welding machines which are used, for example, in factories to weld engine components such as drive shaft s. Principle of operation A portable friction stud welding tool consists of a motor to rotate the stud at high speed and a piston to apply the necessary force to the stud. The equipment may be air or hydraulically powered. A clamping system is also required to hold the tool onto the work piece and to provide reaction to the force on the stud. The clamps used are typically magnetic or vacuum clamps for flat surfaces, chain or claw clamps for pipes and various mechanical clamps for welding onto I beam s or other shapes. The weld is made by rotating the stud at high speed and forcing it onto the substrate causing friction which heats the stud tip and substrate surface.
