ABSTRACT

Electric Arc welding is a welding process that is used to join metal to metal by using electricity to create enough heat to melt metal, and the melted metals when cool result in a binding of the metals. In these used mild steel grade 1018 as a base material of cross section length, width & thickness as 5cmx5cmx5mm and welded with different filler materials E018, E6013, E9015, E8016, E308L to predict its strength and get comparisons of strength of the welded joint keeping welding current, voltage, heat input rate, welding speed and working temperature constant and left for air, water and sand cooling in normal room temperature. When the base material is welded, it is tested for its mechanical properties such as tensile strength test. This present experiment responses shows comparison of various mechanical properties when welded with a different weld filler material to get the optimum result for the strength of the joint as today high quality with correct price is preferable for this TAGUCHI method is used to optimize the values of welding parameters.
