This member analyzed the microstructure, martensite formation and heat situation of AISI 1018 mild brace plate weldments obtained using curve welding processes. Four curve welding processes were employed that are: Submerged Arc Welding (SAW), Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW), Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW) and Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW). The welding design was exhausted accordance with American Welding Society (AWS) Code D1.1 utilizing symmetric binding sequence. It was observed that the connecting process applied decides the heat input which rule the cooling rate and therefore the mechanical properties of the weldments. From the results acquired, submerged curve welding generated the chief heat input distinguished to the other welding processes while smoke tungsten arc binding generated the least heat recommendation. This could be from high arc adeptness of SAW and low curve efficiency of GTAW. High rate of martensite formation that is as a result of extreme heat input was also noticed in submerged curve welding. It is the presence concerning this martensite that is being the reason for brittle nature of welds. Differential flipping through calorimetry (DSC) was employed for discovery of this martensite in welds while differential warm analysis (DTA) was working as a heat treatment method to responsibility the martensite formed in welds.
