Abstract
The metal active gas welding (MAG) method is a technique that can be applied to almost all metals suitable for welding. One of the most important features of this method is that the desired welding quality can be achieved with high melting power and high welding speed. The aim of this experimental study is to determine which filler materials are more suitable for welding of PB/T-JOINT BW position by MAG welding method between S235JR quality steels by non-destructive inspection (NDI) methods. The result of this study will contribute to formation of a ‘Welding Procedure Specification (WPS) which is used in the company. The WPS is extremely important and it is ensured that another welder can perform the welding process with the same parameters by adhering to the specification independently from the welder.
