<![CDATA[Welding defects in a construction if repairs are not immediately carried out, then in the weld defect area can cause cracks that are aggravated by wider cracking and corrosion so that it can cause brittle fractures to the detriment. The problem with brittle fracture is a big problem in steel that has been welded, especially in welded joints, this brittle fracture becomes more important due to the factors of voltage concentration, inappropriate structure and defects in the weld, the purpose of this study: to find out how to use suitable electrodes for ST 37 material in the welding process, whose cooling process directly uses Oil and water (Direct Colling Process), and to obtain optimal welding results after going through the results of welding defect examination using the Penetrant Test method, and the Maghnetic Particle Test. From the results of the examination research conducted by the Welding Inspection team of PT. Superintending Company of Indonesia (SUCOFINDO) to 15 ST 37 specimens that have undergone welding does not show any welding defects, in the sense that they are still within the acceptable limit criteria (Acceptance Standard Ansi B 31.3), from the results of tensile testing On the use of different electrodes in the welding process of ST 37 material, shows that the ST 37 material whose welding process uses electrode E7016 welded results and tensile strength is better than the ST 37 material which in the welding process uses electrodeS E 7018 with the cooling process using Oil and water]]>
