Abstract
Welding plays a big part in the global environment in the manufacturing sector. The GTAW/GMAW technique dominates other welding methods for using shielding gas is the big challenge the industry faces in welding technology. The usage of shielding gases has raised interest in better efficiency, strong weld consistency to protect the welding pool from emissions. Replacing the gas cylinders that shield this atmosphere is a time-causing task. In this research, the choice of better shielding gas for the GTAW/GMAW method is important because of the varying current for different base metals and filler wires. The impact of shielding gas compositions in 316L austenitic stainless steel was studied in this research. For selected shielding gas blends, the values of tensile strength and hardness were compared in both GTAW and GMAW processes.
