Batman Energy Summit, 30 June-02 July 2022, Batman, Turkey.https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12402/4415Ramor steels are widely used materials in the defence and automotive industries due to their superior strength to high-speed impacts. However, many problems are encountered during the use of traditional fusion welds, which are applied to join these steel types with dissimilar metal materials. Therefore, in recent years, friction welding known as solid state welding method has attracted attention instead of traditional melting welding. In this experimental study, the effects of different welding parameters applied during friction welding of Ramor 500 and AISI 420 rod materials on the tensile strength of the joints were examined and the most suitable welding parameters were investigated. In addition, the optimum power requirement for energy saving has been examined. It was found that the lowest tensile strength was 575 MPa for 5 seconds friction time and 45 MPa friction pressure parameters, while the highest tensile strength was 633 MPa for 7 seconds friction time and 55 MPa friction pressure parameters. It was observed that the lowest consumed power was 1.44 kW at 5 seconds friction time and 45 MPa friction pressure, while the highest consumed power was 2.45 kW at 9 seconds friction time and 55 MPa friction pressure. Thanks to the obtained data, the optimum power requirement was determined and 10% energy saving was achieved.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessEnergy SavingFriction WeldingPower ConsumptionRamor 500AISI 420Conference Object
