Abstract

Welding process is one of the important processes in the joining of steel metals. Weld ability of steel is the main factor to use it for various applications. In a previous work by this author, optimization of process parameters for AISI 1040 steel VIZ weld current, arc voltage and wire feed rate for attaining the tensile strength was carried out. Same optimized parameters are used to prepare welding samples with throat thickness of 5 mm. Samples are prepared and tested for micro hardness test and microstructure test in order to check the quality of welded joint and more validation in addition with the tensile test. All the results of hardness and microstructure test are discussed in this paper.

Keywords
