Union of dissimilar alloys by means of welding processes is often challenging than union of like material or alloys. The trivial distinction in mechanical, metallurgical and formation of alloys lead in major changes in the welded joints. Friction welding can be implemented effectively to unite a much wide variety of dissimilar materials. It efficiently resolves so many complex issues in front of contemporary manufacturing, like recuperating quality, dipping costs and safeguarding the environs. It produces the high strength joints compared to fusion welding process. The properties of the welded joints contingent on the right assortment of the welding parameters. In this investigation, the effect of rotational speed on mechanical properties was assessed by tensile, microhardness tests and weld flash appearance of friction welded joint of aluminium alloy 6063-O and aluminium alloy 6063-T6.
