Abstract:⎯ Steel is currently widely used in the industrial world. Due to its versatile uses, the development of steel science has also broadened, leading to improved steel processing methods. Welding is a process of joining two pieces of metal using heat. Steel, containing carbon, is prone to oxidation and rust. The aim of this study is to determine the influence of welding current variations on tensile strength, corrosion rate, and the micrographic structure of ST 42 steel. The research method employed is experimenta… Show more
