Abstract
This article presents the results of the study of methods for friction welding of dissimilar materials and the calculations to determine the structural strength of the most loaded part of a special friction welding device were made. The analysis showed that the friction welding method has wide technological capabilities and it is used in various industries. The designs of existing devices and machines for friction welding were also investigated. It was revealed that the method of friction welding in the conditions of machine-building plants of the Republic of Kazakhstan (RK) has not found application due to the little knowledge and high cost of technological equipment. The authors have developed a special device for friction welding of dissimilar materials. To optimize the parameters of the parts, in particular the bracket part, the stress-strain state calculations were performed using the ANSYS software package and the strength calculation by determining the acting external critical loads. The results of the calculation showed the applicability of the developed design of the bracket part.
