Friction welding process has been used widely in the manufacturing world. It is an adjustable and tolerant process that is capable of joining most engineering materials. It has been used in many application such as aerospace manufacturing industries. The main purpose that is hoped to achieve in this project is to study the possibility of performing friction welding in a typical lathe machine instead of CNC or conventional friction welding machine. Also, to check whether the two materials being joined by lathe machine have a reliable bonding. Different parameters have been considered such as pressure and RPM in order to achieve the best welding joint. We also studied the material properties of the welded joint to insure that this bond can be as good as the joint done by a friction welding machine. The materials that we used on welding are (Steel 070M30 and Aluminum 2011-T3). Certain modifications were done on lathe machine in order make it suitable for the needed task.
