Abstract
Welding process using Gas Metal Arc Welding ( GMAW ) with varied current setting
will obtain different strength of weld product especially tensile and bending strength. The
higher current setting that used the stronger tensile strength of weld product, exceeds the base
metal tensile strength. Whereas at bending test, when lower current setting used, defect or
crack tends to take place. Practically, current setting choice intend to improve and perfect
Welding Procedure Standard ( WPS ). With appropriate current setting moreover welding
parameter such as voltage and welding speed will increase quality of welding product.
