Abstract :-Friction welding is the only till date known method to weld similar as well as dissimilar metals. It is an ordinarily used welding method in various industries like automobile, aeronautical, submarine and heavy-duty industries. Friction welding is a non-conventional force welding process. It is a well-thought-out, most viable alternative to overwhelmed the difficulties faced in conventional connection techniques. Mostly used for joining material with variable mechanical and physical properties. We have mostly been attentive to Rotary Friction Welding (RFW). Our main objective is to understand the fundamental understanding of Friction Welding. This method changes kinetic energy into heat energy, manufacturing high-quality weld with a strangely high-efficiency coefficient. Experimental tests demonstrate the efficiency of this rotational friction welding system by using various parameters like rotational speed, temperature, pressure on the material. Also, experiment on the mechanical strength of the similar and dissimilar material, its experimental determination in real-time is fundamental for understanding and characterised the main process step and optimisation of parameters.
