[0003] For the front drive non-constant speed structure steel transmission shaft of an off-road vehicle, some products have a shaft pipe design length shorter than 220mm, so the existing friction welding equipment cannot process the products, and the products can only be processed by using a melting welding process, and the welding deformation is large, and the product quality is low.

[0004] For the spline shaft fork part of an aluminum alloy transmission shaft, the existing processing technology is as follows: a single long 390mm spline shaft part is friction welded with two end aluminum welding forks, the spline shaft is sawn off from the middle part after welding to divide the spline shaft into two spline shaft fork parts, and then the parts are machined to process the cut surfaces. Because the spline machining length is too long, the precision control is difficult, and the spline shaft machining failure rate is more than 20%. The production process of the spline shaft fork product is as follows: spline shaft part machining - friction welding - sawing separation after welding - fracture trimming - finished product inspection and transfer.
