A intercalating joint between Al and Ti alloy is friction stir welded using a high speed steel tool. The material mixing occurs mainly in the shoulder region while the pin region shows nominal mixing. Microscopy and hardness experiments indicate sporadic formation of intermetallic compounds. The joint region near the shoulder and to some extent below it shows increase in hardness compared to the base Ti alloy.
