With the self-developed physical simulation equipment of linear friction welding, the plastic flow heat transfer simulation experiment of low melting point Lead metal was implemented. A physical model of plastic flow heat transfer of linear friction welding low melting point metal was established based on the process of the Lead metal plastic flow recorded by high speed digital camera and the Lead metal temperature variation recorded by infrared thermal imager. Introducing the plastic flow element into one-dimensional unsteady heat transfer differential equation, heat transfer mathematical model of plastic zone, perpendicular to the direction of vibration, was proposed. Using finite difference method to solve this mathematical model, calculated value of this model and measured temperature was compared. The results show that the two values correspond basically, which indicates that the proposed model could be used to characterize the process of heat transfer of plastic zone during linear friction welding low melting point metal.

Abstract. In order to study the plastic flow during linear friction welding (LFW), copper particles were added as tracers on the surface of lead block. The flowing state of interior metal in LFW was simulated by the home-made simulator. Results show that the upset speed promotes the plastic flow of metal and the oscillation frequency restrains it. The upset speed influences the plastic flow of metal more significantly than the oscillation frequency. Only when the pressure reaches 800N and the increasing rate reaches 100N/s, can obvious plastic flow of lead happen in the direction perpendicular to the compression. But the plastic flow of lead in the compression direction is visible even if the pressure and its increasing rate are small.
