Fixture and Loadcell
Design concerns of fixture:
◦ Good thermal conductivity by using a copper plate
◦ Good strength to avoid deformation by process loads
◦ Accurate locators to locate weld pieces and avoid weld line movements
◦ Ability to join with loadcell by a bolt and two locators
◦ Closest distance between clamps and weld line to avoid residual stress
Loadcell features:
◦ Capacity : 50 tone
◦ Resolution : 5 kilogram
◦ Response speed: 20data/sec

Conclusions
Increasing rotational speed cause a significant decrease in
first maximum axial force
Increasing rotational speed do not affect second maximum
axial force as much as first one.
So by increasing rotational speed in addition to decreasing
axial force and system’s shocks we can increase heat input
by increasing friction( Major heat is made by friction)
Increasing the angle of tool pin ( tool level -1to level +1)
cause a considerable decrease in first maximum axial force
Increasing angle of tool pin from level -1 to level 0 cause an
enormous increase in second maximum axial force
Increasing angle of tool pin from level 0 to level +1 do not
influence second maximum axial force
Increasing the rotational speed beside using tool level 0 and
+1 cause an optimized process.
