R ESULT AND DISCUSSION

Development of mathematical model n this work arc voltage (V), wire feed speed (F), and gas flow rate (L) were selected as welding process parameters. Mechanical properties, i.e. toughness and hardness of welded joints, are significantly affected by welding parameters and it is very clear from previous research work that toughness and hardness of IS 2062 steel weldments is I
