Abstract

In this paper, a brief exordium to the submerged arc welding process is included, along with the literature review of the research in the field of welding of mild steels. Over past decades, fabrication of components utilizing welding has gained utmost paramountcy in repair and manufacturing in sundry industrial applications and so sundry researchers have carried out experimentations for investigating effects of paramount process parameters to ameliorate the process. From their results/findings, it is designated that the contribution of voltage, current, welding speed and nozzle-to-plate distance affects bead geometry and quality of welds while joining mild steels
