Engineering Physics Annotation << Back Prospects for Creating a Domestic Machine for Inertial Friction Welding Yakhin A.V., Udalova E.A., Khuziev I.F. Based on the analysis of the development of welding machine designs, the prospects for using inertial friction welding for manufacturing gas-turbine engine units are substantiated and an automated system for controlling and monitoring welding parameters on the MST-35 machine is developed, which makes it possible to obtain a productive and flexible tool for simulating inertial welding. Unlike the typical machine operation process, the operator selects the required welding mode and sets the parameters (the amount of upset and pressure), and the rotation and welding time are adjusted automatically. During the welding process, the control system adjusts the operating modes and maintains stability and reproducibility of the results, which allows optimizing the process and reducing the risk of defects. Keywords: friction welding, friction welding machine, gas turbine engine, rotary friction welding, technical requirements. DOI: 10.25791/infizik.10.2025.1509 Pp. 38-54.
