Purpose

Aims to determine if friction welding is suitable for welding austenitic stainless steel (AISI 304)

Design/methodology/approach

Uses an experimental continuous drive friction welding set‐up. Determined the strength, hardness and microstructure of the joined parts.

Findings

Finds that the joint strengths are 96 per cent of those of the base metals with no significant hardening.

Practical implications

Friction welding is an appropriate joining method for austenitic stainless steel (AISI 304).

Originality/value

Aids in understanding appropriate uses of friction welding for joining stainless steel.
