Friction Welding of Tube to Tube Plate using an External Tool (FWTPET) is also used to fuse materials from steel in this study. This inquiry involves the existence and absence of a backrest of the SA 213 boiler-grading tube to the SA 387 tube base in FWTPET. Taguchi L9 orthogonal array and Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) are used to determine the best tensile strength and hardness from the input parameter. The Optimization Part has been performed using Principal Component Analysis (PCA) in the welding process parameter. Moreover, both the welds' interface that can create defect-free welds was found in surface morphological studies. The tensile and hardness properties were evaluated, and the values were tabled so that optimum parameters could be calculated.
