Temperatures in rotary welding of dowels in the beech wood

Welding temperature is an important factor of rotary welding and affects the strength of the joint or the embedded force. This research focused on the parameters that affect the welding temperature and the effect of welding temperature on the embedded force of the dowel. Welding temperature was measured using measuring probes that were moved away from the dowel being welded. The results indicate that the speed of the dowel feed (duration of the welding process) influenced the welding temperature; the embedded force was then determined. With increased rotation frequency with the same duration of the welding process, there was a slight increase in the welding temperature. The influence of the rotational frequency on the extraction force was not unambiguously determined, because the rotational frequency is related to the duration of the welding process. As the welding temperature increased, the embedded force decreased. To avoid difficulties in contact measurement of welding temperature, it is necessary to develop a mathematical model of heat transfer to more accurately determine the welding temperature.
