The performance of small wire submerged arc welding on carbon steel / Shahfuan Hanif Ahmad Hamidi

This research investigates the performance of small wire submerged arc welding (SAW) on carbon steel material. Small wire submerged arc welding is an innovation of conventional SAW using GMAW wire and machine. SAW can weld thin material and short length just like GMAW or FCAW. The correlation of wel...
