Abstract
One of the most often used welding processes for unalloyed structural steels is MAG, which is relatively simple, yet achieving high deposition rates. On the other side, there are standards describing weld quality based on weld geometry. This paper describes influence of heat input on weld geometry for MAG fillet welds of unalloyed steel with thicknesses of 8 mm, in horizontal and overhead position. Independently varied parameters were welding current and speed. Influence is described through models based on linear regression analysis. Comparison is made between models developed for different positions, as well as with those available in literature.
