Submerge arc welding is one of the most important, high-quality, and reliable joining techniques for heavy industries. In the present study, bead-on-plate welding was done via Submerge Arc process on AISI 1015 mild steel in different welding conditions, including electrode angle as well as weld direction. The weldment produced from the different parametric conditions is tested to measure the bead geometry and quality of the weldment. An optical microscope image of the weld zone reveals that the backhand with a 45° electrode angle can produce high penetration at the weld zone. Whereas, welding performed with a 90° electrode angle results in a defect-free weld zone.
