This study was investigated on the friction welding of A2024 aluminum alloy to SM45C carbon steel with insert metals. The tensile strength of welded joints, the hardness distribution of welds, the microstructure of welds and the tensile fracture surfaces were mainly investigated through this experiment. When aluminum alloy A6351 was used as insert metal, the maximum tensile strength of welded joint was obtained. In this case, the maximum joint efficiency was 76.2 percent of base metal. Optimal welding conditions were N=2,000rpm. $P_1$=40MPa, $P_2$, $t_1$=1.5 sec, $t_2$=5 sec.
