Abstract:
In this work, incompatible properties of WC-Co cermet and AISI 304 steel were combined in the same component using rotary friction welding (RFW) process. The dissimilar joints were performed using a ductile NiCr interlayer with the change in the WC-Co cermet positioning i.e., fixed rotary side and feeding side. Similar microstructure across the weld joints was obtained of the different welding configurations that produced similar behavior in hardness and elastic modulus.
