Abstract
The purpose of the present study was to fulfill the knowledge gap concerning the residual stress distribution in dissimilar medium carbon steels welded by a rotary friction technique. For this purpose, residual stresses were evaluated by X-ray diffraction. Microstructure observations, microhardness measurements and tensile tests were performed to couple all information. In addition, the distribution of residual stresses was evaluated in welded samples heat treated at 300 and 600°C. We have found that the residual stress distribution is in the high compression in thermomechanical affected zones, due to the microstructural changes during the welding process. Two subzones form the thermomechanical affected zone. However, the heat treatments caused a relaxation phenomenon in the weld region which is due to the recrystallisation during the heat treatments.
