Abstract

Sintered iron based compacts were welded by applying a high frequency induction process. The cross-sections of the compacts were square in shape so two different coil shapes, cylindrical and square, were studied with respect to the effect of magnetic flux. The effect of welding duration on the macrostructural changes and mechanical properties of the induction welded compacts were investigated for welding durations of 3, 5 and 10 minutes.
