Mathematical methods in studying temperature-time conditions of the friction surfacing in the manufacture of functionally organized steel-aluminum compositions

A mathematical model for studying temperature and time conditions of the process of friction surfacing in the manufacture of functionally organized steel-aluminum compositions has been developed and validated. Bars made of pure aluminum grade ER1100 were used as the consumable rod material during friction surfacing. The substrate in the form of a rectangular plate was made of high-quality steel 20. The geometric model of the object when modeling the process of friction surfacing in the ANSYS 2021R2 software package was specified in the form of a rod and a substrate. The initial data for calculating temperature-time conditions of the friction surfacing process are: geometric parameters of the simulation object; characteristics of thermal loads of the heating source which depend on the technological parameters of the surfacing mode (the speed of axial rotation of the rod, axial pressure, boundary conditions of the simulation object for the temperature problem), and auxiliary parameters that determine the order of calculations. The thermal power arising at the point of physical contact between the rotating consumable rod and the substrate was considered a parameter of the source thermal load. The calculation of heat propagation for the friction surfacing process was carried out according to a scheme with a normally circular source located on the substrate surface. The calculation scheme directly reflects the main feature of the friction surfacing process: the introduction of heat due to friction between the rotating consumable rod and the substrate. It is shown that taking into account the boundary conditions and geometric features of the 3D model provide a satisfactory convergence of developed mathematical model and ensure the uncertainty of no more than 5 % in determining the heating temperature of the substrate when forming functional aluminum coatings, as well as composite materials on their base when surfacing them on the surface of steel substrates.
