Continuous drive friction welding (FW) studies on AA6082 and AA2014 combination have been attempted in this investigation. The effect of rotation speed and friction pressure on microstructure and mechanical properties (Tensile and Hardness) of the dissimilar friction welds (AA6082-T6 and AA2014-T6) were studied. The two materials were welded in the form of rods of F18 mm after T6 treatment and were tested in tension at room temperature. The microstructure of the joints was observed by optical microscopy and the fracture surfaces were analyzed by employing a scanning electron microscope (SEM). Microstructure-mechanical property correlation and fracture behaviour is a major contribution of the study and therefore assumes special significance since such detailed studies are not hitherto reported. The mechanical properties of dissimilar friction welds (DFWs) are comparable to those of parent metals. DFWed specimens led to very significant grain refinement and tensile properties are comparable to base metals.
