A steering wheel armature includes a hub, a spoke and a rim. The hub has a first portion and a second portion. The second portion is attached to a steering column. The spoke is attached to the first portion of the hub via friction welding. The rim is friction welded to the spoke to interconnect the rim and the first portion of the hub, wherein the first portion is stir friction welded to the second portion such that the rim is attached to the steering column.
