This paper describes the effect of friction welding condition on joint properties of austenitic stainless steel (SUS304) joints, which was made by friction stud welding. When the joint was made at a friction pressure of 30MPa with a forge pressure of 30MPa, the joint efficiency of 100% was not successfully achieved. The joint with a forge pressure of 270MPa was not obtained the fracture in the base metal, although the joint efficiency increased. The cause of the joint with the fracture between the weld interface and the base metal was that the peripheral portion of the weld interface of the stud side was not completely joined at this friction pressure. On the other hand, the fracture on the base metal and the joint efficiency of 100% were successfully achieved when the joint was made at a friction pressure of 90MPa and a friction time of 0.3s (just after the initial peak) with a forge pressure of 240MPa or higher. This joint had the bend ductility of over 90 degrees with no crack at the weld interface by three-point bending test, and it also had that of over 45 degrees with no crack at the weld interface by impact shock bending test. In conclusion, to obtain the joint efficiency of 100% and the fracture in the base metal with no cracking at the weld interface, the joint must be made with high friction pressure, opportune friction time such as the friction torque reached to just after the initial peak, and with adding high forge pressure.
