Abstract

The welding process plays a central role in the welding industry, where the joint zone undergoing the welding process experiences structural and mechanical property changes. This research evaluates the comparison of current strength and parameters in the directional welding joint model, a critical aspect of addressing common weaknesses in welded joints. The research objects include four current levels (100, 120, 140, 160 A) and three types of welding directions (longitudinal, transversal, and combination). The aim of this study is to detect the optimal combination in welded joints that can produce a maximum tensile strength ratio. The research method involves tensile testing on various specimen models of joint types at specific current strength levels.

The research results indicate that at the current strength level of 120 A, the combined directional welding joint model (longitudinal+transverse) provides a maximum tensile strength reaching 335.370 MPa. This finding stands out significantly, surpassing the tensile strength values at other current levels and welding model types, such as at 100 A (331.574 MPa), 140 A (332.315 MPa), and 160 A (332.685 MPa). This discovery highlights that the combined joint model yields a substantial improvement in joint strength, making it an optimal solution for various current strength levels and joint models.

The key feature of this research involves specific recommendations for the welding industry, including guidelines on selecting optimal parameters to enhance the tensile strength of joints. The directional welding joint models can be a reference in designing welding procedure specifications to incorporate construction elements using ST 42 material. This research contributes both theoretically and practically, offering opportunities for improving efficiency and structural safety in the welding process, thus positively impacting the quality of joints in construction and manufacturing applications
