I would like to solid state (friction) weld Nickel 625 to 17-4ph H1150. These rods are 1" in diameter.
My question is: Should I forget about it and send it to an expert? I'm guessing that 1" is pushing or is past the limit.
If it is worth trying in house, is a Kingston 26/90 lathe adequate? Is it a process that has to be learned through destructive testing specimens? Would a flux help?
The finished part will never see more than 500 pounds in tension and there no danger if a part fails other than embarrassment (I do want it to be a non-questionable, high-quality weld, though).
Thanks in advance.
