Experimental procedure.
The base material employed in this study is 10 mm-thick Carbon Steel A36
welded with AWS 5.17 filler material.
Prior to welding, the base metal sheets were pickled with a solution of
NaOH and HNO3, wire brushed, and degreased using acetone, and finally
preheated to 100°C
The sheets to be welded were kept on a copper backing bar and the ends
were clamped to maintain the alignment and gap
Specimens for tensile testing were taken at the middle of all the joints and
machined to ASTM E8 standards (ASTM Standard Handbook, 2004). The
configuration of the specimens used for plain tensile test.
Specimens for metallographic observation and micro hardness tests (15-mm width) were
taken at the middle of all the joints.
Micro-hardness tests were carried out on the welded samples with a load of 15 g and a
duration of 15 s using a Vickers digital micro-hardness tester
Weld metal dilution (i.e., volume fraction of the base metal into the weld bead) was
evaluated in terms of area fraction (assumed to represent volume fraction) as follows
125 IPM = 10.4 x 60 (min) =625 x 0.23 (chart) = 14.4 Ibs. per. hour

CONCLUSION
Factors such as arc current, arc voltage and welding speed and their
interactions play a significant role in the SAW process.
