Abstracts: In friction welding, the joints are formed in the solid state by utilizing the heat generated by friction. The objectives of this study are obtaining friction weld element of Aluminum 6351, steel 304 and optimizing the friction welding parameters in order to establish the weld quality. This paper discusses use Taguchi experiment design technique for maximizing tensile strength of friction welding Al (6351) and steel 304. An orthogonal array of L9 was; Using ANOVA and signal to noise ratio of robust design, effect of tensile strength of friction welding process parameter (Rotational speed, forging force, time) is evaluated and optimum welding condition for maximizing tensile strength is determined and also NDT (Radiography test) testing to measure continuity of weld joint.
