PENGARUH POSISI PENGELASAN DAN JENIS ELEKTRODA E 7016 DAN E 7018 TERHADAP KEKUATAN TARIK HASIL LAS BAJA KARBON RENDAH TRS 400
Some of the factors that affect the outcome of the strength of welding, including welding position. Welding position will give different results on the strength of the weld. Type welding electrodes are also greatly affect the characteristics of the weld, on the other hand the type of electrode for welding is often a personal choice regardless welder lasnya strength. The purpose of this study conducted to analyze the best tensile strength of the welding position and the type of electrode E 7016 and E 7018 used to weld steel TRS 400. This study is an experimental research are used to determine the effect of welding position and the type of electrode tensile strength carbon steel TRS 400. Where the test results obtained through direct experiments to test object. Based on this research, welding position which produces the highest tensile strength is a vertical position with the highest average value of 65.52 (kgf / mm²). Types of electrodes that generate the highest tensile strength is the electrode E 7016 with the highest average value of 65.52 (kgf / mm²). Compared with electrodes E 7018 with an average value of 60.26 utmost strength (kgf / mm²). In the vertical welding position with an average value of 60.26 the highest strength (kgf / mm²). Thus the position and type of electrode is best used for welding steel TRS 400 is in a vertical position with the electrode E 7016.Keywords: Position Welding, Type Electrodes, Tensile Strength, and Steel TRS 40
