Studies on Effects of Shielded Metal Arc Welding Process Parameters on Weld Bead Geometry and Mechanical Property of SS400 Steel

The mechanical properties of the weld joint are greatly affected by the geometry of the weld bead. Reinforcement height, depth of penetration and weld bead width are considered to be the most important factors of the weld bead geometry. It was also observed that the depth of penetration, rein-forcement height and width of the weld…
