Statistical analysis was carried on weld defects of low carbon bainite ADB610 steel using shielded metal arc welding (SMAW) and mixed active-gas arc welding (MAG). By Pareto diagram analysis, although the ratio of porosity air hole using SMAW is slightly higher than the one using MAG, there is no qualitative difference in ADB610 steel weld defect types between two welding methods. And the crack occurs seldom, which indicates ADB610 steel has lower crack-sensitivity using SMAW and MAG. By histogram analysis and rank test, it can be concluded that there is distinctive difference in defect size between SMAW and MAG, and the average size using SMAW is bigger than the one using MAG. So if possible, MAG is recommended for low carbon bainite ADB610 steel.

Welding is a very important part of the development and growth of the industry because it has a role in engineering, reparation, and construction. Shielded   Metal   Arc Welding (SMAW) or the conventional arc welding   process is particularly dominant in structural joints, pressure vessels and in maintenance and repair work. In welding, different metals are joined economically and at a much faster rate as compared with other fabrication processes like riveting and casting. The purpose of this research is to find out the cooling media cooler against SMAW smelter tensile strength by using the E6013 electrode. This study uses low carbon steel material that has levels Fe = 98,3%; C = 0,30%, Si = 0,23%. The material is given 75A welding current with cooling variation on the connection result using oil, water, and room temperature. The highest tensile stress value obtained in the oil cooling treatment was 844,76 N/mm2, the highest strain value was obtained on the raw materials of 16%, the highest elasticity value was obtained in the oil cooling treatment of 703.96 N/mm2. According to the research results can be concluded that the variations of cooling media greatly affect the strength of the welding connection.


With the advancement of welding techniques, Arc-welding is one of the most commonly and widely used welding technique for variety of purposes. The underside of welding to be performed makes the molten pool going downward because of gravity vector pulling affects the molten pool. The main purpose of this study is to study how the molten of electrode produced reduce on going downward and produce a good root fusion in overhead position of welding in single V-butt joint with the help of magnetic field on the workpiece. The study of magnet characteristic which includes thebehaviour of molten pool toward magnetic field, the macrostructure and microstructure and its strength should be carried out. Each magnet strength has their own characteristics that affects toward weldment on base metal.As a result, it can be concluded that having a magnetic field applies on base metal A36 low carbon steel may reduce the molten pool from going downward. The selection of a correct magnet strength and welding process may produce good and quality weldment especially in terms of its weld properties and geometry.

Welding is basic part of the most modern assembly and manufacturing operations. Shielded metal Arc Welding process has hard facing and fabrication job application due to low cost electrode, increasing alloy transfer efficiency and low dilution with substrate without losing production capacity. SMAW electrode is coated with metal mixture called flux, which on decompose produce gases to restrict weld contamination, generating deoxidizers to disinfect the weld. The choice of electrode for SMAW lies on a number of factors, like weld material, welding direction and the preferred weld properties. The present paper investigate the microstructure and hardness properties of the Low carbon steel pipe welded using shielded metal arc welding with different electrode combinations.

The effect of welding current on the tensile properties of low carbon steel welded joint was investigated in this research. In this work mild steel plates were joined by shielded metal arc welding process which is also known as manual metal arc welding used to examine optimum welding current. The welded samples were cut and machined to standard configurations for tensile tests. It was concluded that variation of current affect the tensile properties of the low carbon steel welded joint. As the current increases from 80A to 110A, the ultimate tensile strengths and yeild strength increases. The percentage elongation decreases with increase in welding current but increases at the welding current of 110A.


Joining of materials is the need of modern industries and stuctures. Shielded metal arc welding process is one of the most popular and commonly used method of joining materials. The weld reinforcement height should be optimum for mechanical properties of the weld. If the reinforcement height is less or negative, it is not recommended considering strength of weld as surface area will be reduced and if the reinforcement height is more, it will produce stress concentration which is not recommended. In the present work the investigation of the effect of three different types of electrodes at three different welding currents in shielded metal arc welding process utilizing Low Carbon Steel plate of API 5L Grade X 52, was done for reinforcement height. The three different electrodes as E 6013, E 7016 and E 7018 and the varying currents as 90 A, 100 A and 110 A. Total 18 pieces were used to obtain 9 welds which were used to analyze the effect of current and the electrode on reinforcement height. The dimensions of the work pieces were taken as 75 mm x 50 mm x 5 mm. The values of reinforcement height in each weld were written in a table and respective diagrams were drawn to make clear the effect of welding current on reinforcement height for the three different electrodes.

Cast iron is commonly found in engineering tools such as machine frames, vise, lathes, planers, pressing tools, V-belt pulleys and others. Cast iron is a metal which is relatively difficult to weld because it contains more than 0.3% carbon. As a matter of fact, a lot of welding workers still experience failure in welding the cast iron, so they require the proper procedures to perform welding on the cast iron like the heat treatment before the welding. This study was aimed at obtaining the effect of preheating variations on the weld joints in which the process of welding the material used the type of open V seam connection. The specimen used was a cast iron with a thickness of 10 mm and the electrode used was the JIS Z 3252 DFCNiFe electrode. The method applied in this research was the microstructure observation testing toward the welding result by using Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW). Based on the results of the study, it can be concluded that by applying the preheating variation treatment on the cast iron welding, there was a change in the microstructure and it was dominated by pearlite-ferrite in the weld metal area. As a result, the rough graphite that looks like roots became smooth after experiencing the preheating treatment because the ferrite was evenly distributed in the heat affected area. To conclude, the most superior specimen for the cast iron preheating among the four specimens was the one with 425oC temperature.

Effect of variation of the connection (butt joint) in low carbon steel resistance welding (shielded metal arc welding, SMAW) performance is investigated in this paper. Three types of butt joint was varied: square, single V, and double V. The results from tensile test showed that welded specimens are of similar tensile properties with base metal and one another. When hardness test was performed on weld metal, HAZ, and base metal of each specimen,.it was found that weld metal and HAZ were of higher hardness than the base metal. Specimen with square joint exhibits the highest hardness while specimens with single V and double V joints show similar hardness. Microstructure analysis revealed that weld metal of specimen with square joint is of bainite-martensite phases while weld metal of specimens with single V and double V joints are of ferrite-pearlite phases. This difference in microstructure, and hence in hardness, is related to the corresponding heat input during welding.
