Analysis and Optimization of Shielded Metal Arc Welding Parameters on Mechanical Properties of Dissimilar Materials

Abstract

Shielded metal arc welding is the most efficient and economical process through which it can easily weld. Residual stress is prompt in the welding process. In, some of cases, there is entrapment and deformation that can endanger the coherence of welding properties. So, the mechanical properties of welded joints can be changed accordingly to the heat-affected zone. In this study, the joint between two dissimilar AISI304 steel and Mild steel having a thickness of 5mm which is welded through a shielded metal arc welding (SMAW) in the V-groove shaped has been produced. In this research, we examines the mechanical properties of the material and their experimental and numerical analysis can also be measured through the Ultimate Tensile test, which introduces the entrapment and distortion of the finite element. It mainly focusses on final outcomes of the accuracy and strength of the material has been investigated.
