Direct-drive friction welding of ASTM A106 and AISI 4140 steel tubes has been investigated both experimentally and numerically. A remeshing technique was implemented to accurately simulate highly distorted flashes during the FE simulation. The results revealed that the circumferential thermal expansion led to a higher contact pressure at the inner diameter of the interface and consequently, inner...
