MIG/MAG welding processes have
recently become more significant in autonıotive body production. MAG welded
automobile body manufactured using different shielding gas combinations come
across the mechanical stresses especially dynamic stresses when running road.
In this study, FeP04 (St 14) type automobile body sheet has been MAG welded
witb different shielding gas combinations and then mechanical properties of
joints have been investigated. Visual inspection has been applied to welded
sheets and then tensile test has been carried out specimens respectively. As a
result, effect of gas combinations can affect the mecbanical properties of
joints has been examined and also some suggesttions have been given to automobile
body manufactures.
