Present work investigates the effect of heat input (controlled by welding current,welding voltage and welding speed) on tensile strength,micro-hardness and microstructure elements produced by shielded metal arc welding (SMAW). From the experimental res ults it was found that the increase in heat input affects the micro-constituents of base metal,and h eat affected zone (HAZ). Tensile strength decreases with increase in heat input and from scanning elect ron microscopy of tensile test fractured surfaces exhibited ductile & brittle failure. From micro har dness data values it was observed that hardness of material increases with increase in heat input in w eld pool and decreases in HAZ zone. Optical microscopy shows that smaller dendrite sizes and le sser inter-dendritic spacing were observed in the fusion zone at low heat input. And long dendrite si zes and large inter-dendritic spacing were observed in the fusion zone of the joint welded at high heat in put. Further it was observed from the optical micrographs that the extent of grain coarsening in the HAZ increases with increase in heat input. The welding heat input has a great influence on the wel dments properties. This paper describes the influen ce of welding heat input on the weld metal toughness of h igh-carbon steel surface welded joint .

Abstract
In this paper, the effect of chromium powder mixed dielectric fluid on machining characteristics of AISI D2 die steel has been studied. Peak current, pulse on time, pulse off time, concentration of powder are the process parameters. The process performance is measured in terms of material removal rate (MRR), tool wear rate (TWR) and surface roughness (SR). The research outcome will identify the important process parameters that maximize MRR, minimize TWR and SR. The design of experiment has been undertaken using Taguchi method. ANOVA analysis has been used to investigate the percentage contribution of each process parameter for optimizing the performance. The study indicates that all the selected parameters except pulse off time have a significant effect on MRR. Current is found to be the most significant factor for MRR and TWR. With increase in current, TWR increases. Also, surface roughness increases with increase in pulse off time.

Effect of configuration on lateral displacement and cost of the structure for...eSAT Journals
Abstract
The choice of a cost effective lateral-force-resisting system for high-rise structures is challenging. There is no streamlined methodology to quantitatively compare the cost-effectiveness of each system beyond the more qualitative perception based evaluation of advantages or disadvantages. Developers currently base their decisions on architectural layout and structural integrity. Cost considerations are often primarily based on experience.
This decision making process has three primary shortfalls.
1) It may not incorporate factors which greatly affect the economy of a particular framing system.
2) It may not allow engineers to carryout designs at the least cost.
3) Comparison of framing systems may not address the specific building types.
This investigation proposes a prototype cost-effective model for selecting either a skeleton framing system or skeleton frame with bracing system for steel structural frames. A model for selecting cost-effective skeleton framing system or skeleton frame with bracing system will be a valuable tool for all decision makers. Engineers, in particular, will be able to select optimal steel framing faster, thus reducing design time and iterations. Furthermore, selection of economic framing system will also result in direct cost savings for steel structural frames.
The study involves the design and cost estimation of steel frames representing skeleton framing system and skeleton frame with bracingsystem. The cost effectiveness of the framing systems are compared based on lateral displacement requirements and cost.The preferred framing system should meet lateral displacement requirements and is lower in cost. The results of this pilot study showed that the Skelton framing system with bracing is the cost-effective choice for 30storeys steel space frames at wind speeds of 55m/sec, 50m/sec and 47m/sec.

Abstract
The effect of welding current on welding speed and hardness of heat effected zone and weld metal of mild steel material is investigated in this paper. Mild steel weldment was welded under varying welding current i.e. 80, 85, 90, 95 & 100 ampere by using MMAW process in 1G position. The edge preparation, electrode diameter and electrode type, CCV, welding technique, polarity and welder remained constant during the test. The test specimen was then grinded and hardness of each specimen was measured at three point i.e. parent metal, HAZ and weld metal by using Brinell hardness tester. It was observed that with increase in welding current melting rate of electrode was increased hence welding time was reduced. So welding speed was increased. With increase in welding current hardness of HAZ and weld metal was also decreased due to increase in heat input. With increase in welding speed heat input decreased and hardness of the joint increased.

Comparison of Mechanical Properties of Austempered, Normalized and As-Weld Ca...IJAEMSJORNAL
More often than not, welded joints experience failure such as fracture which jeopardize their reliability and ergonomics when put in perspective. Attempting a significant improvement in the mechanical properties of welded joint through heat treatment could ensure joints stability and reduce the costs associated with constant repairs and replacements. In this study, the effects of heat treatments (austempering and normalization) on the mechanical properties of weldments were examined. The locally recycled steel sample was sourced from the Delta Steel Company Aladja, Delta State and the spectro-analysis was carried out on it. The test samples were machined as per properties for tests, fractured locally and were welded using shielded metal arc welding (SMAW) with stainless steel electrode. They were then heat treated in electric furnaces. The mechanical properties (tensile strength, yield strength, hardness and impact toughness) were determined and the microstructure examined using scanning electron microscope. They were also examined physically using hand lens. The result indicated that the austempered samples improved significantly in terms of its tensile strength, yield strength, hardness and ductility. It was also found that the untreated sample produced the greatest impact toughness. The result of the physical examination also suggested that heat treatment using oil based quenchant have the potential to inhibit rust at weld joints.
Optimization of Process Parameters on Tig Welding to Enhance Mechanical Prope...ijtsrd
Tungsten Inert Gas TIG welding is widely used for weld the thin metal. Alloying metal is also welded by this process. Appearance and quality TIG weld is very superior as compare to other welding process. Melting the work piece and filler rod result in formation of smoke and gases. Helium and Argon are non reactive gases by this property it is used as a shielding gas. Most commonly mixture of Argon and Helium are favored to use for enhanced welding quality because they do not react with each other .Argon and Helium gases protect the welding area from outer environment and helps to maintain a stable arc due to low ionization potential. Aluminum is light in weight and for excellent performance it is used in aerospace industry, aviation, marine industry, automobile, defence and others. TIG welding parameters such as welding current, gas flow rate and welding voltage are taken into account which influences the tensile strength, Hardness and Toughness of aluminum weld joint. Welding parameters are controlled with electronic control units. AC power supply is prefer to used for aluminium as compare to DC power supply because of its low melting point aluminium melt at low temperature Ravinder Kumar | Dr. Dinesh Kumar ""Optimization of Process Parameters on Tig Welding to Enhance Mechanical Properties of AA-6351 T6 Alloy"" Published in International Journal of Trend in Scientific Research and Development (ijtsrd), ISSN: 2456-6470, Volume-3 | Issue-4 , June 2019, URL: https://www.ijtsrd.com/papers/ijtsrd23831.pdf

In this work, effect of welding electrode, welding current and corrosion media on
corrosion behaviour of three kinds of stainless steel (AISI 304, AISI 316 and AISI 410)
was investigated. Welding was performed by manual metal arc welding process using
three types of welding electrode (E308L, E316L and E310). Corrosion behaviour of
the welded joints was examined in two chloride mediums (3.5%NaCl and 3.5%KCl).
The results showed that welding electrodes E316L and E310, which contain Mo and
Ni respectively, increase corrosion resistance in of the weldment. The increment in
heat input by increasing welding current caused reduction in corrosion resistance by
facilitating carbon diffusion and formation of chromium carbides in the weld area. It
was also found that corrosion rate of 3.5% NaCl was more aggressive than 3.5% KCl.

A study on characterization of Al-18%Si alloy by centrifuge castingdbpublications
Aluminum-silicon alloy are characterized by light weight, good strength –to-weight ratio, ease of fabrication of at reasonable cost, high strength at elevated temperature, good thermal conductivity, excellent castability, good weldability, excellent corrosion and wear resistance property. Thus, these types of alloys are well suited for automotive industries, aerospace structural and military applications. In centrifuge casting solidification rate is faster compared to gravity casting, but still solidification depends on various process parameters like, cooling temperature of molten metal, rotational speed of the die and also wall thickness of die. In centrifuge casting the silicon deposition in aluminum varies from top to bottom. Here Al-Si functionally graded material is used and developed under centrifuge casting. The method used in this work to produce functionally graded material is totally different from other centrifugal casting which helped in producing solid cylindrical parts. This report describes about mechanical characterization of Al-18%Si at different temperature. At 950°C casting shows good ultimate tensile strength and harder metal compared to other casting.

Aluminium has very unique properties of light
weight and corrosion resistance and due to this it becomes
very interesting metal in the field of engineering. Mainly this
paper deals with effect and optimization of certain range of
values of process parameters during TIG welding of
aluminium alloy 7075.
In the first cycle of experiment the effect of values
(in wide range) of gas flow rate and welding current during
TIG welding of Aluminium alloy 7075 has been found out on
its mechanical properties such as ultimate tensile strength and
hardness. Visual inspection and dye penetrate test also has
been performed for every sample of welding.
From the results for ultimate tensile strength obtained in first
cycle of experiment, a try has been made to optimize process
parameters in second cycle of experiment by narrowing the
range of values of gas flow rate and welding current. Finally
the near optimal values of gas flow rate and welding current
has been found to get maximum UTS.
Optimization of Process Parameters in MIG Welding of Two Dissimilar Materialsijtsrd
The joining of dissimilar Aluminum Alloy and Copper aluminum plates of 5mm thickness was carried out by technique. Optimum process parameters were obtained for joints using statistical approach. Five different tool designs have been employed to an alyse the influence of rotation speed and traverse speed over the micro structural and tensile properties. In FSW technique, the process of welding of the base material, well below its melting temperature, has opened up new trends in producing efficient dissimilar joints. Effect of welding speed on microstructures, hardness distribution and tensile properties of the welded joints were investigated. By varying the process parameters, defect free and high efficiency welded joints were produced. The ratio between tool shoulder diameter and pin diameter is the most dominant factor. From micro structural analysis it is evident that the material placed on the advancing side dominates the nugget region. The hardness in the HAZ of 6061 was found to be minimum, where the welded joints failed during the tensile studies. M. S. Amarnath Reddy | Mr. J. Sree Hari | Mr. K.

Effect of the post weld heat treatments on the fatigue crack growth behavior ...eSAT Journals
Abstract
The effect of the post weld heat treatments (PWHTs) on the fatigue crack growth (FCG) behavior in the welded zone of AA6063-T5 fabricated by the friction stir process was investigated. The FCG specimens are machined in which the loading axis is put perpendicular to the welding line and the initial notches are introduced in the welded zone. The experimental results showed the FCG rates are sensitive to the PWHT solutions. The FCG resistance in the welded zone could be fully restored to that of base metal by using PWHT. While the PWHT solution solely restores the precipitates dissolved and/or coarsened during welding process has a minor effect on the FCG rates, the PWHT solution remarkably recrystallizes the grain microstructure has a significant effect here.

The method used in this work to produce functionally graded material is totally different from other centrifugal casting which helped in producing solid cylindrical parts. This report describes about mechanical characterization of Al-18%Si at different temperature. At 950°C casting shows good ultimate tensile strength and harder metal compared to other casting.
Study the Effect of Welding Parameters during TIG Welding of Aluminum Plate a...Dr. Amarjeet Singh
Aluminium has very unique properties of light
weight and corrosion resistance and due to this it becomes
very interesting metal in the field of engineering. Mainly this
paper deals with effect and optimization of certain range of
values of process parameters during TIG welding of
aluminium alloy 7075.
In the first cycle of experiment the effect of values
(in wide range) of gas flow rate and welding current during
TIG welding of Aluminium alloy 7075 has been found out on
its mechanical properties such as ultimate tensile strength and
hardness. Visual inspection and dye penetrate test also has
been performed for every sample of welding.
From the results for ultimate tensile strength obtained in first
cycle of experiment, a try has been made to optimize process
parameters in second cycle of experiment by narrowing the
range of values of gas flow rate and welding current. Finally
the near optimal values of gas flow rate and welding current
has been found to get maximum UTS.
Optimization of Process Parameters in MIG Welding of Two Dissimilar Materialsijtsrd
The joining of dissimilar Aluminum Alloy and Copper aluminum plates of 5mm thickness was carried out by technique. Optimum process parameters were obtained for joints using statistical approach. Five different tool designs have been employed to an alyse the influence of rotation speed and traverse speed over the micro structural and tensile properties. In FSW technique, the process of welding of the base material, well below its melting temperature, has opened up new trends in producing efficient dissimilar joints. Effect of welding speed on microstructures, hardness distribution and tensile properties of the welded joints were investigated. By varying the process parameters, defect free and high efficiency welded joints were produced. The ratio between tool shoulder diameter and pin diameter is the most dominant factor. From micro structural analysis it is evident that the material placed on the advancing side dominates the nugget region. The hardness in the HAZ of 6061 was found to be minimum, where the welded joints failed during the tensile studies. M. S. Amarnath Reddy | Mr. J. Sree Hari | Mr. K.

Effect of the post weld heat treatments on the fatigue crack growth behavior ...eSAT Journals
Abstract
The effect of the post weld heat treatments (PWHTs) on the fatigue crack growth (FCG) behavior in the welded zone of AA6063-T5 fabricated by the friction stir process was investigated. The FCG specimens are machined in which the loading axis is put perpendicular to the welding line and the initial notches are introduced in the welded zone. The experimental results showed the FCG rates are sensitive to the PWHT solutions. The FCG resistance in the welded zone could be fully restored to that of base metal by using PWHT. While the PWHT solution solely restores the precipitates dissolved and/or coarsened during welding process has a minor effect on the FCG rates, the PWHT solution remarkably recrystallizes the grain microstructure has a significant effect here.

Effects of welding current and arc voltage on fcaw weld bead geometryeSAT Journals
Abstract Flux cored arc welding(FCAW) process is characterized with its high deposition rate and productivity. Control of the operating parameters in FCAW is essential to obtain high production rates and good quality welds. Bead on plate welds were carried out on mild steel plates to study the influence of welding current and arc voltage on weld bead geometry parameters. The weld bead coss-sections were metallographically investigated. The effects of these welding parameters were evaluated by measuring penetration depth, reinforcement height, bead width, wetting angle, electrod deposit area and plate fusion area. The bead cross-section area and the weld shape factor were calculated from the measured results. The effects of welding parameters on weld bead geometry have been presented by histograms. Key Words: Flux cored arc welding, arc welding parameters, weld bead geometry, weld shape factor
Heat welding of plastics. Welding can join thermoplastic parts together. It can be by melting the surfaces and pressing them together or by extrusion welding with a filler rod. Several methods of welding are available. Proper manual techniques are critical to success as is the pressure testing of pressure parts.
A REVIEW STUDY OF THE EFFECT OF PROCESS PARAMETERS ON WELD BEAD GEOMETRY AND ...Editor IJMTER
submerged arc welding is most efficient welding process in any fabrication industry. It is
a common arc welding process in which coalescence is produced by heating application with an
electric arc or arcs set up model between a bare metal electrode and the work piece. The arc end of
the metal electrode and molten pool are invisible. They are invisible being submerged under a
blanket of the granular material (flux). Selection of process parameters has great influence on the
weld bead geometry. Welding input parameters play a significant role in determining the quality of a
weld joint. Here, this joint quality can be defined in terms of properties such as weld bead geometry
and flux consumption. All the welding processes are used with the aim of obtaining a welded joint
with the desired weld bead geometry and excellent mechanical properties with maximum metal
deposition rate and minimum distortion rate. This paper presents the review of the effect of input
parameters on weld bead geometry and flux consumption in submerged arc welding process.

Experimental Analysis to Optimize parameters of Friction Stir Welding of Alum...IJSRD
This paper is a review of research work in the last decade on friction stir welding. In many industrial applications steel is readily replaced by non-ferrous alloys like aluminum alloys. Aluminum alloys having good mechanical properties as equated structural steel and low weight that allows a significant reduction in weight. But the welding of aluminum alloys by regular processes can causes serious problems. The difficulties are like loss of alloying elements and presence of separation and porosities in the weld joint. Friction stir welding (FSW) is a solid state welding process, which removes all these problems of solidification related with the conventional fusion welding processes. In this research work an attempt has been made to develop an the relationship between FSW variables (tool rotation and tilt angle) and tensile strength and yield strength of number of pass friction stir welded aluminium alloy AA 6082 butt joints. Taguchi method is used for analysing the problem in which several independent variables influence the response. A three-parameter -three-level central composite design was used to determine the optimal factors of friction stir welding process for aluminium alloy.

Geochemistry and Genesis of Kammatturu Iron Ores of Devagiri Formation, Sandu...IJMER
The Greenstone belts of Karnataka are enriched in BIFs in Dharwar craton, where Iron
formations are confined to the basin shelf, clearly separated from the deeper-water iron formation that
accumulated at the basin margin and flanking the marine basin. Geochemical data procured in terms of
major, trace and REE are plotted in various diagrams to interpret the genesis of BIFs. Al2O3, Fe2O3 (T),
TiO2, CaO, and SiO2 abundances and ratios show a wide variation. Ni, Co, Zr, Sc, V, Rb, Sr, U, Th,
ΣREE, La, Ce and Eu anomalies and their binary relationships indicate that wherever the terrigenous
component has increased, the concentration of elements of felsic such as Zr and Hf has gone up. Elevated
concentrations of Ni, Co and Sc are contributed by chlorite and other components characteristic of basic
volcanic debris. The data suggest that these formations were generated by chemical and clastic
sedimentary processes on a shallow shelf. During transgression, chemical precipitation took place at the

Non linear analysis of Robot Gun Support Structure using Equivalent Dynamic A...IJMER
Robot guns are being increasingly employed in automotive manufacturing to replace
risky jobs and also to increase productivity. Using a single robot for a single operation proves to be
expensive. Hence for cost optimization, multiple guns are mounted on a single robot and multiple
operations are performed. Robot Gun structure is an efficient way in which multiple welds can be done
simultaneously. However mounting several weld guns on a single structure induces a variety of
dynamic loads, especially during movement of the robot arm as it maneuvers to reach the weld
locations. The primary idea employed in this paper, is to model those dynamic loads as equivalent G
force loads in FEA. This approach will be on the conservative side, and will be saving time and
subsequently cost efficient. The approach of the paper is towards creating a standard operating
procedure when it comes to analysis of such structures, with emphasis on deploying various technical
aspects of FEA such as Non Linear Geometry, Multipoint Constraint Contact Algorithm, Multizone
meshing .

system. Membership functions are generated for the probe attack. Based on these rules we have
created the fuzzy inference system that is used as an input to neuro-fuzzy system. Fuzzy inference
system is loaded to neuro-fuzzy toolbox as an input and the final ANFIS structure is generated for
outcome of neuro-fuzzy approach. The experiments and evaluations of the proposed method were

and provide an answer to the question “How it affects the machine translation process and thereby
machine learning as whole?” .

Material Parameter and Effect of Thermal Load on Functionally Graded CylindersIJMER
The present study investigates the creep in a thick-walled composite cylinders made
up of aluminum/aluminum alloy matrix and reinforced with silicon carbide particles. The distribution
of SiCp is assumed to be either uniform or decreasing linearly from the inner to the outer radius of
the cylinder. The creep behavior of the cylinder has been described by threshold stress based creep
law with a stress exponent of 5. The composite cylinders are subjected to internal pressure which is
applied gradually and steady state condition of stress is assumed. The creep parameters required to
be used in creep law, are extracted by conducting regression analysis on the available experimental
results. The mathematical models have been developed to describe steady state creep in the composite
cylinder by using von-Mises criterion. Regression analysis is used to obtain the creep parameters
required in the study. The basic equilibrium equation of the cylinder and other constitutive equations
have been solved to obtain creep stresses in the cylinder. The effect of varying particle size, particle
content and temperature on the stresses in the composite cylinder has been analyzed. The study
revealed that the stress distributions in the cylinder do not vary significantly for various combinations
of particle size, particle content and operating temperature except for slight variation observed for
varying particle content. Functionally Graded Materials (FGMs) emerged and led to the development
of superior heat resistant materials.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

ABSTRACT: This paper focuses on analysis of varying welding heat inputs on material properties by
different authors. The influence of welding process parameters such as welding current, travel speed
and voltage on material properties has been identified .ferritic Stainless Steel is a new grade of steel
produced by Steel Authority Of India Limited.The use of FSS has been increased noticeably in building
up of railway wagons, which were priorly built by Mild Steels. Ferritic Stainless Steel’s amazing
strength-to-weight ratio makes wagons lighter by 40 per cent yet, keeps them strong enough to take on
12 per cent more payload. As a result, trains travel faster, consume less fuel and increase efficiencies.
This review tries to conclude the effects of variation in heat input on mechanical properties as well as
microstructural properties of the welds.
Keywords: Bead on plate, FSS, heat inputs, SMAW
I. INTRODUCTION
Welding, the fusing of the surfaces of two workpieces to form one, is a precise, reliable, cost-effective,
and “high-tech” method for joining materials. No other technique is as widely used by manufacturers to join
metals and alloys efficiently and to add value to their products. Most of the familiar objects in modern society,
from buildings and bridges, to vehicles, computers, and medical devices, could not be produced without the use
of welding. Welding goes well beyond the bounds of its simple description. Welding today is applied to a wide
variety of materials and products, using such advanced technologies as lasers and plasma arcs. The future of
welding holds even greater promise as methods are devised for joining dissimilar and non-metallic materials,
and for creating products of innovative shapes and designs.
1.1Heat inputs:
Fundamental to the study of welding is the study of heat-flow. In welding, the application of a heat
source is called energy input. It is defined as the quantity of energy introduced per unit length of weld from a
traveling heat source. The energy input (heat input) is expressed in joules per meter or millimeter. This
important measure is calculated as the ratio of total input power in Watts to its velocity:
H= ƒEI/ V
Where:
ƒ= heat transfer efficiency
E=volts
I=amperes
V =Travel velocity of heat source (mm/sec)
1.2Shielded Metal Arc Welding:
Shielded metal arc welding (SMAW) is a manual arc welding process that uses a
consumable electrode coated in flux to lay the weld. An electric current, in the form of either alternating
current or direct current from a welding power supply, is used to form an electric arc between the electrode and
the metals to be joined. As the weld is laid, the flux coating of the electrode disintegrates, giving off vapors that
serve as a shielding gas and providing a layer of slag, both of which protect the weld area from atmospheric
contamination. Because of the versatility of the process and the simplicity of its equipment and operation,

shielded metal arc welding is one of the world's most popular welding processes. It dominates other welding
processes in the maintenance and repair industry.
1.3Bead on plate welding:
A bead weld or weld bead is the result of a welding pass that deposits filler material. Welding is a
process that combines multiple pieces of metal by heating and softening them. With bead welding, a filler
material is inserted in the space between the two materials. When the metal filler material cools, a strong bond is
formed between the two surfaces.
1.4Ferritic Stainless Steel:
Ferritic stainless steel (FSS) with 12 wt% Cr developed to feel the gap between stainless steels and the
rust prone carbon steels has been attracted as low cost utility stainless steels. They are now commonly used in
the coal mining industry for bulk transport of coal and gold, for cane and beet sugar processing equipment, road
and rail transport, power generation, petrochemical, pulp and paper industries etc. In fact, the use of these steels
in the past few years has been increased markedly with their successful applications in passenger vehicles,
coaches, buses, trucks, freight and passenger wagons.
1.5Mild Steel:
Mild steel is the least expensive of all steel and the most common steel used. Used in nearly every type
of product created from steel, it is weldable, very hard and, although it easily rusts, very durable. Containing a
maximum of 0.29% carbon, this type of steel is able to be magnetized and used in almost any project that
requires a vast amount of metal. Its structural strength prevents it from being used to create load-bearing girders
and structural beams.
II. LITERATURE REVIEW
M V Venkatesan, N Murugan, B M Prasad, A Manickavasagam [1] discussed the influence of
flux cored arc welding (FCAW) process parameters such as welding current, travel speed, voltage and C02
shielding gas flow rate on bowing distortion of 409M ferritic stainless steel sheets of 2 mm in thickness. The
bowing distortions of the welded plates were measured using a simple device called profile tracer. An
experimental regression equation was developed to predict the bowing distortion and with this equation, it is
easy to select optimized process parameters to achieve minimum bowing distortion. It is revealed that the
FCAW process parameters have significant influence on bead profile and the bowing distortion.
E. Taban, E. Deleu, A. Dhooge, E. Kaluc [2] presented microstructural and toughness properties and
mechanical properties of gas metal arc welded 6 mm thick modified X2CrNi12 stainless steel with two different
heat inputs. According to results, grain size has dominant effect on impact toughness. Grain coarsening has no
adverse influence either on tensile properties or on bend properties but the heat affected zone impact toughness
for sub-zero temperatures generally decreases and this depends on the amount of grain coarsened
microstructures and eventual precipitates present.
P. Kanjilal, T.K. Pal, S.K. Majumdar [3] developed a rotatable designs based on statistical experiments
for mixtures to predict the combined effect of flux mixture and welding parameters on submerged arc weld
metal chemical composition and mechanical properties. Bead-on-plate weld deposits on low carbon steelplates
were made at different flux composition and welding parameter combinations. The results show that flux
mixture related variables based onindividual flux ingredients and welding parameters have individual as well as
interaction effects on responses, viz. weld metal chemical composition and mechanical properties.
P.K. Palani, N. Murugan [4] investigated the effect of cladding parameters such as welding current,
welding speed,
and nozzle-to-plate distance on the weld bead geometry. The experiments were conducted for 317L flux cored
stainless steel wire of size 1.2 mm diameter with IS:2062 structural steel as a base plate. Sensitivity analysis was
performed to identify the process parameters exerting the most influence on the bead geometry and to know the
parameters that must be most carefully controlled. Studies reveal that a change in process parameters affects the
bead width, dilution, area of penetration, and coefficient of internal shape more strongly than it affects the
penetration, reinforcement, and coefficient of external shape.
V.M. S´anchez-Cabrera, C. Rubio-Gonz´alez [5] performed welding with two alternative ways,
preheating the welded parts and using similar filler material or using an austenitic stainless steel filler metal
without preheating. This research work consists in identifying and comparing, for these two alternatives, the
effect on microstructure, fracture toughness and fatigue crack growth rate of the welded joint. On the first
alternative, using a GMAWwelding process and similar filler metal, the variable is preheating temperature, with
the purpose of minimizing internal residual stresses and the level of diffusible hydrogen. On the second

alternative, also using a GMAW welding process and austenitic stainless steel filler metal (greater hydrogen
solubility), the variable is hydrogen concentration in the argon shielding gas with the purpose of diffusing
hydrogen to the heat affected zone. The results indicate how the thermal cycle, different hydrogen levels and
hydrogen trapping sites affect the mechanical properties.
A K Lakshminarayanan , V Balasubramanian [6] investigated The microstructure analysis and
mechanical properties evaluation of laser beam welded AISI 409M ferritic stainless steel joints. Single pass
autogeneous welds free of volumetric defects were produced at a welding speed of 3000 mm/min. The joints
were subjected to optical microscope, scanning electron fractography , microhardness , transverse and
longitudinal tensile, bend and charpy impact toughness testing. The coarse ferrite grains in the base metal were
changed into dendritic grains as a result of rapid solidification of laser beam welds. Tensile testing indicates
overmatching of the weld metal is relative to the base metal. The joints also exhibited acceptable impact
toughness and bend strength properties.
M. Mukherjee and T.K. Pal [7] described The effect of heat input on martensite formation and impact
properties of gas metal arc welded modified ferritic stainless steel (409M) sheets (as received) with thickness of
4 mm. The welded joints were prepared under three heat input conditions, i:e: 0.4, 0.5 and 0.6 kJ/mm using two
different austenitic filler wires (308L and 316L) and shielding gas composition of Ar + 5% CO2. The welded
joints were evaluated by microstructure and charpy impact toughness. The dependence of weld metal
microstructure on heat input and filler wires were determined by dilution calculation, Cr/Ni ratio, stacking fault
energy (SFE), optical microscopy (OM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). It was observed that the
microstructure as well as impact property of weld metal was significantly affected by the heat input
and filler wire. Weld metals prepared by high heat input exhibited higher amount of martensite laths and
toughness compared with those prepared by medium and low heat inputs, which was true for both the filler
wires. Furthermore, 308L weld metals in general provided higher amount of martensite laths and toughness than
316L weld metals.
Jerzy Nowacki, Paweł Rybicki [8] determined The influence of the heat input submerged arc welding
(SAW) of duplex steel UNS S31803 on kind and quantity of welded butt joints defects. Analysis of welding heat
input influence on mechanical properties of test joints using heat input from 2.5 to 4.0 kJ/mm. For analysis of
welding heat input influence on creation of welding imperfections, there were executed welding of sheet of
thickness 10–32mm using two ranges of the welding heat input: up to 2.5 and up to 3 kJ/mm. It was shown that
submerged arc welding of duplex steel with the heat input from 2.5 up to 4.0 kJ/mm has no negative influence
on mechanical properties of the joints. Experiment showed, that welding with heat input up to 3.0 kJ/mm
reduces welding defects of joints, e.g. slags, lack of a joint penetration for plates of thickness of 10–23 mm, as
well as sticks, cracks, and the thoroughly decrease of other defects existence. Usage of larger welding heat input
provides the best joints quality.
M Yousefieh, M Shamanian, A Saatchi [9] studied the effect of heat input variations on the
microstructure and corrosion resistance of a DSS UNS S32760 in artificial sea water media. The corrosion
resistance in 3. 5% of NaCl solution was evaluated by potentiostatic polarization tests at room temperature. It is
found that the presence of sigma phase and Cr 2 N decreases the corrosion potential. The specimen with heat
input of approximately 0.95 kJ/mm have the best corrosion characteristics, which is the result for the lack of
deleterious phases such as sigma and Cr2N and balanced ferrite-austenite proportion.
Huaibei Zheng, Xiaoning, Laizhu Jiang, Baosen Wang, Zhenyu Liu, Guodong Wang [10] investigated
the corresponding microstructures in HTHAZ with different chemical compositions and heat inputs through
thermal simulation tests. There are several primary conclusions: (1) When ferrite factor (FF) is above 9.0, the
microstructure in HTHAZ is fully ferrite or a small amount of martensite net likely distributing along delta
ferrite grain boundaries. On the other hand, if FF is below 9.0, the martensite content increases with the
decreasing of FF. (2) Heat input influences the microstructure of high FF steel in HTHAZ. The martensite
content and its distribution of low FF steel are not sensitive to heat inputs, but the grain size grows up with the
increase of heat inputs. (3) The coarse Ti-rich particles in low FF steels containing Ti can promote intragranular
austenite formation inside delta ferrite resulting in packet morphology of martensite.
M.O.H. Amuda [11] investigated the effects by producing the welds on a 1.5mm thick plate of 16 wt%
Cr FSS conforming to AISI 430 commercial grade,using TIG torch in argon environment at a heat flux between
1008W to 1584W and speed between 2.5mm/s and 3.5mm/s. The width of the sensitization zone increases with
increasing the heat input. The depth of the sensitization zone in the thickness direction is insignificant and it is
generally within one half of a millimetre. The use of heat input greater than 432J/mm increases the development
of sensitized regions. This level of heat input corresponds to heat fluxes in the range 1008-1296W and welding
speed between 3mm/s and 3.5mm/s. Under this condition the average cooling time is about 10s. Most grain
attack is restricted to the ferrite-ferrite grain boundaries. The ferrite martensite boundaries do not show visible
attack. This indicates that welding condition that promotes the formation of martensite in the HAZ is ideal for
the presentation of sensitization.

4. A Review Paper On Effect Of Varying Welding Heat Inputs On…
J. Pekkarinen [12] focused to determine empirically, which microstructural changes occur in ferritic
and duplex stainless steel when heat input is controlled by welding parameters. They concluded that
microstructure of ferritic stainless steel grade 1.4003 is fully martensitic in all welding parameters combination
used. Hardness of martensite structure is dependent on heat input, increasing heat input decreasing the hardness.
In duplex stainless steels microstructure is very much dependent on cooling rate. Ferrite content is decreasing
with increasing heat input and the microstructure is however dependant also on composition and therefore the
suitable welding parameters must be adjusted for each steel grade separately.
Bipin Kumar Srivastav, S.P. Tewari [13] studied the effect of arc welding parameters on quality of
welds and concluded that several process control parameters in SAW influence bead geometry, microstructure
as well as weld chemistry .Their combined effect is reflected on the mechanical properties of the weld in terms
of the weld quality as well as joint performance . The selection of the suitable process parameters are the
primary means by which acceptable heat affected zone properties ,optimized bead geometry and minimum
residual stresses are created. The mechanical properties of the weld are influenced by the composition of the
base metal and to a large extent by the weld bead geometry and shape relationship as well. It observed that with
increase in electrode stick out, hardness of the weldment increases, yield strength and impact value decreases,
ultimate tensile strength of the joint initially decreases but thereafter increases provided welding current and
voltage arc kept at a constant level. The function of the flux ingredients such as Cao, MgO, CaF2 and Al 2O3 in
submerged arc welding studied and concluded that among the flux ingredients, MgO appears to be important on
its own in influencing the mechanical properties.
Eslam Ranjbamode [14] studied the microstructural characteristics of tungsten inert gas (TIG) welded
AISI 409 ferritic stainless steel and effect of the welding parameters on grain size local mis-orientation and low
angle grain boundaries was investigated. It concluded that the welding plastic strain is an increasing factor for
local misorientation and low angle grain boundaries. It shows that the final state of strain is the result of the
competition between welding plastic strains and stress relieving from recrystallization.
M.O.H Amuda and S. Mridha [15] reports the microstructural features of FSS welds produced under different
heat input rates along with the governing parameters of welding like travel speed, welding current and material
properties and investigated that irrespective of the welding condition, the primary solidification structure
changed from a predominentely ferritic structure to a matrix interspersed with increasing fraction of inter
dendritic martensite in the weld metal grain boundary martensite in the heat affected zone. This implies that
below the critical welding current value, the mechanical properties of ferritic steel weld might be influenced by
both welding current and speed.
III. CONCLUSION
1. Excessive welding speed can exacerbate sensitization during low heat input welding.
2. Welding conditions that promotes the formation of martensite in the HAZ can be ideal for the prevention of
sensitization.
3. Variation in heat input resulted in significant changes in the mechanical properties of the weld.
