In this research work, an attempt has been made to formulate and investigate the effect of GMAW conditions on bead width during the cladding of low carbon steel pale using AISI 308H electrodes. The BoxBehnken design has been employed for the development of mathematical relationship. The voltage, current and wire diameter have been considered as cladding conditions. The variation of bead width with voltage and current have been found non linear while, the effect of wire diameter on bead width has been observed linear. On the other hand, the bead width continuously increases with increase in voltage, current and wire diameter.

SS400/SUS304 steels lap joint was applied in various industries due to flexible andbeneficial properties of these dissimilar metals joint. Therefore, an investigation for optimization ofa gas metal arc welding (GMAW) for producing the dissimilar metal lap joint should be conductedfor advancing the manufacturing industries. This research applied GMAW with various currents andspeeds to weld SS400/SUS304 lap joint and studied the relationship between the parameters andresuted joint properties. The experiment showed that an increase in the wedling current and a decreasein the welding speed affected to increase the fracture strength, the displacement of the lap joint, andthe joint hardness due to high combination of the materials at the joint interface. The uncombinedmaterials at the carbon steel/weld metal interface had the different hardness and resulted to initiatethe crack that then was propergated until the joint was broken. The weld metal showed the formationof the finer and smaller dendrite structure with increasing the welding current and decreasing thewelding speed.

The installation and renovation works of steel structures are often performed using gas metal arc welding. Thereby, the welded elements of these structures are frequently protected by a variety of primers and coatings, especially in shipbuilding. Complex nonequilibrium physical and chemical processes occurring under the influence of high temperatures and electric arc discharge, as well as the presence of the products that affect the welding parameters, have a significant impact on the joints’ quality. Experimental studies on the coatings’ breakdown products influence on the gas metal arc welding parameters were performed with epoxy, alkyd, polyacrylate, polyvinyl butyral primers, epoxy zinc filled, vinyl chloride, vinyl isobutyl, and organosilicate coatings. The peculiarity of welding current waveform parameters was studied using oscillograms processing. It was found that the main coatings breakdown products that influence the current waveform are oxygen and carbon monoxide.

In this study, the effect of gas metal arc welding on the mechanical and microstructure properties of hot-rolled XPF800 steel newly produced by TATA Steel has been investigated. This steel finds its role in the automotive industry as chassis and seating applications. The microstructure transformation during gas metal arc welding has been analyzed using scanning electron microscope, optical microscope, and energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry. Tensile, Charpy impact, and microhardness tests have been implemented to determine the mechanical properties of welded samples. Acceptable welded joints have been obtained using heat input in the range of 0.28–0.46 kJ/mm. It has been found that the base metal hardness of the welded sample is 320 HV0.1. On account of the heat-affected zone softening, the intercritical heat-affected zone hardness values have diminished ∼20% compared to base metal.
