Determination of the Effect of Current and Travel Speed of Gas Metal-Arc Welding on the Mechanical Properties of A36, A516, and A514 Steels

Abstract

This study was performed to determine the limits on current and travel speed-in particular, nugget area-as defined by the results of tests to determine tensile and impact properties of butt joint welds produced by fully automatic gas metal-arc welding (GMAW) in carbon steel (A36), pressure-vessel steel (A516), and high-strength, low-alloy steel (A514).
