Abstract
Friction welding is widely used process in the manufacturing industries such as aerospace and automotive. The performance of friction welding was analyzed from the mechanical properties of welded zone. Many process parameters are influence the mechanical properties of welded zone. Therefore in this research work an attempt has been made to find the influence of process parameters on mechanical properties of welded zone. The spindle speed, forging pressure and time of contact are selected has process parameter. The hardness and surface roughness of welded zone are selected as mechanical properties during the experimentation. The Taguchi design of experiments is chosen to perform the experiments. The outcomes are analyzed by using Grey relational approach. The results indicate that the time of contact has maximum influence on the mechanical properties.
