A two-dimensional FE model of the equilibrium stage of linear friction welding, using ANSYS Mechanical, was developed. The qualitative influence of the clamp location on temperature and stress fields was investigated. It was shown that the fixing location has a significant effect on heat generation and, as a consequence, temperature distribution.
