Friction coating processis a solid state metal deposition process which is developed from friction stir welding technique. Mild steel is a low-carbon steel that is commonly used in the construction industry due to its low cost, ease of manufacturing, and excellent mechanical properties. However, its low hardness and poor wear resistance limit its usage in several applications. Frictional metal coating technique is used tocoat mild steel with a variety of consumable materials including steel, aluminium, copper, nickel, titanium, etc.,These coatings have been shown to greatly increase the wear, corrosive and thermal resistance of mild steel.This review shows investigations dealing with few dissimilar consumable rods deposited on the surface of mild steel substrate to enhance the surface property and also used for crack repair, dissimilar material joinsand hole or gap filling applications.The potential future directions for the development and use of this technique are also presented.
