Abstract

One of the most important parameter that affects the strength and stability of the weld joints is Penetration. A
comprehensive set of experiments to determine specific effects of shielding gas compositions (consisting of pure argon, pure
helium and different argon composition) on penetration was conducted. The performance of various combinations of shielding
gas in Gas Tungsten arc weld was observed. The Investigation is undertaken to find the optimum gas composition that will
satisfies the penetration with little effect on the Metallurgical properties of stainless steel. Though the addition of SO2 was
observed that improves the penetration but also changes the mechanical properties of the weld joints, but it can be studied that
the use of Argon with oxygen and carbon dioxide gives the positive result on the penetration of weld joints with considerable
effect on the weld properties and welding process.
