This study aimed to evaluate the soundness of solid-state welded steels. STS 430F alloy with a rod type was selected as experimental material, and the friction welding was conducted at a rotation speed of 2,000 RPM and upset length of 3 mm. The application of friction welding on STS 430F rods led to significant grain refinement in the welded zone (1.3 m) compared to that observed in the base material (16.8 m). The refined grains in the welds contributed to the development of the mechanical properties. In particular, the Vickers microhardness was increased by approximately 25% compared to the base material, and the fracture at the tensile specimen of the welds occurred at the base material zone and not in the welded zone, which suggests a soundly welded state on the STS 430F rods.
