Fricatives are sounds produced when the tongue approaches but does not make contact with a place of articulation causing a bottleneck of the airflow. This gives the sound a friction like quality such as /v/ /θ/ /z//ʃ/.

Affricate results from the sequence of stop plus fricative in rapid succession. So the affricate/ʧ/ represents /t/ plus /ʃ/ just as the affricate /ʤ/ results from /d/ plus/ʒ/.
