The present paper describes the mechanical properties of a friction welded joint between Ti-6Al-4V alloy and Al-Mg alloy (AA5052). The Ti-6Al-4V/AA5052-H112 joint, made at a friction speed of 27 . 5 rev s 21 , friction pressure of 30 MPa, friction time of 3 . 0 s, and forge pressure of 60 MPa, had 100% joint efficiency and fractured in the AA5052-H112 base metal. The Ti-6Al-4V/AA5052-H34 joint, made under the same friction welding conditions, did not achieve 100% joint efficiency and it fractured in the AA5052-H34 base metal because the AA5052-H34 base metal had softened under friction heating. The joints made at low friction speed or using short friction time showed fracture at the welded interface because a sufficient quantity of heat for welding could not be produced. However, the joints made at high friction speed or using long friction time were also fractured at the welded interface: in this instance, the welded interface also had an intermetallic compound layer consisting of Ti 2 Mg 3 Al 18 . The Ti-6Al-4V/AA5052-H34 joint made at a friction speed of 27 . 5 rev s 21 with friction pressure of 150 MPa, friction time of 0 . 5 s, and forge pressure of 275 MPa had 100% joint efficiency and fractured in the AA5052-H34 base metal, although the AA5052-H34 side softened slightly. In conclusion, the Ti-6Al-4V/AA5052-H112 joint and Ti-6Al-4V/AA5052-H34 joint had 100% joint efficiency and fractured in the AA5052 base metal when made under the friction welding conditions described above.
