In order to examine the influence of the torch position on the weldment, the specimens were subjected to destructive (tensile, impact toughness and hardness) and nondestructive (floroskop) testing. Test results showed that position of the torch during welding changed tensile strength and impact toughness. The non-destructive test showed that position of the torch effected weld bead form. Inadequate fusion melting was observed at some positions and at some others positions poor weld root bead was formed.trinfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessDestructive and non-destructive inspectionMIG-MAG weldingWeld positionArticle2-s2.0-338454076356374Q263121
