Abstract: In this competitive world, the customers perceive the most reliable high quality. Friction welding famously abbreviated FW is one of the most important metals welding process in manufacturing industries. The various process parameters that influence the weld quality are speed, forging pressure, friction pressure, forging time, friction time. Here in our project we have conducted the experiment with the composite material of LM25/SiC by varying different parameters. The friction Welding process is a kind of solid-state welding process. The solid-state welding process is the way toward joining two metals in temperature beneath the liquefying point without the expansion of filler material. Aluminum compound (LM25) and SiC have been picked as a matrix and reinforcement material individually. Stir casting is made by adding 20% of SiC with LM25 respectively. After casting, the composite is made as rod based on ASTM standards and microstructure analysis is done to identify distribution of particles. Frictions welding on composite rods (20mm diameter and 95mm length) with various speeds are done the micro structure and mechanical behaviours are studied at the weld zone. The result show that the tensile strength and hardness at the weld spot is high at the rod welded at 2000 rpm speed.
