Özet

In this study, iron based sintered parts were welded by high frequency induction welding. The effects of surface roughness on the mechanical properties of induction welded samples were investigated. Polished and unpolished samples were welded and mechanically tested by three point bending test. The hardness of the samples increased from the base material towards the weld metal. The weld metal, heat affected zone and the base material of the samples were investigated by light microscopy. In contrast to the polished samples, corrosion attack was registered in the welded region of unpolished samples. According to the results, the welding duration affects the mechanical properties. However, the surface finishing process was the dominant factor for the bending strength of the welded samples.
