Abstract:
This paper proposes a new welding method, resistance friction stir welding (RFSW), which provides a novel method to solve some of the challenges of friction stir welding high melting point of ferrous and non-ferrous metals. The RFSW is a new hybrid welding technology, which utilises the advantages of both resistance welding and friction welding. The technological principle of RFSW uses the compound effects of resistance heating and friction heating; the integration methods are discussed and analysed in this paper. It is believed that RFSW is an innovative, practical welding technique. The national patents for invention have already been applied in China.Keywords: RESISTANCE FRICTION STIR WELDING; DESIGN OF STIR HEAD; HIGH TEMPERATURE METAL
