Abstract

Welding is a crucial technology in modern manufacturing processes, widely applied in automotive, oil refineries, and other industries. This study focuses on two standard welding techniques: Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW) and Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW). GMAW uses argon gas as a shielding gas, and the ER70S-6 electrode has a 1.0 mm diameter, while SMAW employs the E7018 electrode with a 2.6 mm diameter. Both methods are tested on ASTM 106 Grade B steel, a commonly used material in various industries. The primary goal of this research is to evaluate the tensile strength of steel specimens welded using MIG and SMAW. The tensile strength of raw material, as well as the welded materials, is measured to assess the quality of the welds. The results show that the tensile strength of the raw material is 648.26 kgf/mm². After welding, the tensile strength for the MIG-welded material is 540.79 kgf/mm², while the SMAW-welded material achieves a higher tensile strength of 616.17 kgf/mm². These values highlight the significant difference in performance between the two welding techniques. SMAW welding provides the best joint quality among the two methods, with a tensile strength value of 616.17 kgf/mm². This study underscores the importance of selecting the appropriate welding technique based on the desired strength and application, with SMAW proving superior for this particular material. These findings contribute valuable insights into material technology and welding, offering a reference for future industrial applications.

Abstract

The welding process plays a crucial role in manufacturing and is inseparable from its advancement. Deutsche Industrie Norman (DIN) defines welding as creating a metallurgical bond at the joint of metal or alloy metals in their molten state. This process is essential for constructing strong, durable materials like plates, steel, and pipes. Bending tests, including face bend and root bend, are often conducted to evaluate the quality of welded joints. These tests assess welded materials’ toughness, strength, and resistance under specific loading conditions. This study employed two welding techniques: Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW) and Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW). GMAW, called Metal Inert Gas (MIG) welding, uses argon or helium as protective gases and a continuously fed electrode wire. On the other hand, SMAW relies on flux-coated electrodes to create the weld seam, with molten metal from both the electrode and parent material filling the joint. The results revealed distinct advantages for each method. The highest bending test value for the root bend was achieved with MIG welding at 982,55 Kgf/mm², demonstrating its effectiveness in creating durable root joints. Conversely, SMAW exhibited superior performance in face bend tests, achieving a bending strength of 104111 Kgf/mm², making it ideal for surface-level joint applications. Both techniques displayed no visible cracks in their welds, ensuring compliance with industry standards and confirming their reliability for various manufacturing needs. These findings highlight the importance of selecting appropriate welding methods based on specific application requirements.
