Especially, if it is used as the lightest part of the machine parts, materials such as aluminium and magnesium can be joined with different steels. Therefore, in this study, austenitic stainless-steel and aluminium materials were welded using the friction welding method. Optimum parameters for joints were obtained by using a statistical approach, and tensile and micro-hardness tests were applied to the joints. Subsequently, the micro and macro photos of the joints were examined. The joints were examined with EDX (energy dispersive X-ray) analysis in order to determine the phases that occurred during welding. Some of the welds had poor strength due to the accumulation of alloying elements at the joint interface. The obtained results were compared to the results of previous studies.en10.1007/s00170-008-1492-7info:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessWelding StrengthFriction WeldingStainless SteelAluminium304-Stainless-SteelAlloyArticle415-6487497Q2WOS:0002638976000082-s2.0-61849183075Q1
