The document summarizes an investigation into the effect of different welding sequences on angular distortion in butt-joint welds using gas metal arc welding (GMAW) on steel plates. Three welding sequences - symmetrical, backward, and single-pass - were tested on steel plates using metrological assessment tools. The symmetrical method was found to produce the least distortion, distorting around 9.8% less than single-pass and 12% less than backward welding. The objective was to determine the influence of welding sequence on angular distortion in butt joints welded with GMAW.

The main objective of this work is to investigate the influence of three
different welding sequences of the GMAW process on angular distortion in butt-joint welds, performed on S235 steel plates by metrological assessment. 2. Methodology And Material Used 2.1 Welding Materials The welding equipment used for the experiment is an MIG 453 modular model machine which consists of a power source, an electrode feeder, a torch, a gas cylinder, and cables. 2.2 Base Metal and Filler Metal The base metal adopted for the experiment is S235JR carbon steel (EN10025),whose chemical composition is indicated as, Cont. • The filler metal used for the experiment is a Eurotrod M/SG 2 electrode, identified as 1434-A G3Si1 by the ISO standard and 5.18 ER 70S-6 by the AWS. • The electrode is made of steel and coated with copper. It have its own chemical composition and mechanical properties. • Shielding Gas The shielding gas used in the experiment is ISO14175-M21-ArC-18 (mixture of 82% argon and 18% carbon dioxide), which is beneficially influencing the mechanical properties and preventing contamination of the molten pool by the external environment. Cont. • Experimental Procedures The experimental procedures included the preparation of surfaces using specific tools such as a band saw and an angle grinder with an abrasive disc, along with the cleaning process using acetone. The experimental setup involved, 12 pairs of S235JR steel sheets with dimensions of 220 × 100 × 3 mm and a 30 × 30 mm control grid with 64 nodes (measurement points) for the analysis of distortions. Cont. • metrological equipment; The statistical tool and digital metrological equipment used for the experiment is Creaform composed of C-Track 780, HandyPROBE, and MetraSCAN 3D system, for acquiring geometric points. It involves statistical analysis methods such as the parametric t-test, non- parametric tests (Kruskal-Wallis and Mood’s median test), and the application of ANOVA and Tuckey test for statistical significance. • Butt-Joint Welding Process The weld beads were performed in the flat position (1G) with the pulling technique, and the experiments would not be affected by human, material, or machine flaws. Cont. The welding sequences performed were divided into three groups: 1.SM: Symmetrical method. 2.BM: Backward method. 3.SP: Single-pass method with one step. a=SM: b=BM:c=SP • Parametric t test comparison Cont. 3. Conclusions
• As a result of metrological and statistical analyses, the symmetrical
method (SM) is the sequence that least distorted and single pass (SP) was the sequence with the most symmetrical distortions. • In average displacement values, the SM sequence deformed around 9.8% less than the single pass (SP) and 12% less than the backward method (BM).
