Arc welding is a process of joining metals by using electrodes, by using high heat to melt the parts together and allow them to cool causing fusion. It is a type of welding to join metals, other than joining process like brazing and soldering. We have used two different metals like Mild steel (MS) and Stainless steel (SS) plates with different thickness about 8mm and 10mm. We have done Arc welding on MS and SS plates with different thickness. By using electrode E7018 with different gauges like 2mm, 3.5mm, 4mm for (filling V-GROVE) applying 3 layers of weld bead, for finding the welding defects on weld joint. The following tests conducted are hardness, dye-penetration, Magnetic and radiography. We mainly concentrated on finding the effect of bending radius on weld joint. By applying the different loading conditions bend radius and angle of inclination are obtained. With the help of CAD (computer aided design) application with CREO parametric, we have designed the welded plates and performed analysis using ANSYS software. By using this software, the theoretical and experimental values are evaluated.
