Abstract
Gas metal arc welding (GMAW) and laser welding are two commonly used joining methods. In this study, these two welding methods were used to join the galvanized sheets. For GMAW, the process parameters were: welding wire diameter, shielding gas flow, welding speed, current and wire feed speed. In term of laser welding, the analyzed parameters were: welding speed, power and pulse duration. In order to establish the effects of the main parameters on the resistance of the welded joint, changes were made to the values of a single process parameter, and the others were kept constant. The combined welded samples were examined non-destructively using X-rays method and then were subjected to destructive tensile tests, analyzing the tensile strength values.
