Abstract: Friction welding of tube to tube plate using an external tool (FWTPET) is a solid state welding process used for joining tube to tube plate of either similar or dissimilar materials with metallurgical properties. In the present study, FWTPET has been used to weld SA 213 tube with SA 387 tube plate and the corrosion behaviour at weld interface has been analyzed and the weld interface is found to have increased in corrosion resistance value due to the influence of the grain refinement after the welding process. Hence, the present investigation is carried out to analysis the corrosion behaviour at weld interface in the presence and absence of corrosion inhibitor Sodium Potassium Tartrate (SPT) with well water in friction welded dissimilar joints of SA 213 tube and SA 387 tube plate joints and the results are presented.
