Abstract
In recent years, with the development of welding methods, using these methods in manufacturing industry and in advanced engineering has become more popular. In this study, mechanical properties of rods obtained by friction welding and electric arc welding are compared. Hence, three specimens with different material properties are manufactured, two of which are welded by friction welding and one of which is welded by electric arc welding. These three specimens are adapted to the ASTM E8-04 standard with the help of a universal lathe. Moreover, the tensile stress values and the elasticity modulus of all these specimens are obtained as a result of tensile tests. Accordingly, the effects of the type of welding and material properties used in manufacturing on the mechanical behavior of the specimens are examined. In addition, specimens taken from the cracked surfaces of the pieces broken from the specimens as a result of the tensile test are examined with SEM (scanning electron microscopy). These examinations reveal the microstructure of the specimens. The elemental distribution data obtained as a result of examinations with SEM and the mechanical property data obtained as a result of tensile tests support each other. Furthermore, effects of a heat affected zone (HAZ) on the mechanical properties of the rod are investigated as a functionally graded material.Keywords
