Abstract—The objective of this research was to study influenceparameters affecting to mechanical property of austenitic stainless steel grade 304 (AISI 304) with Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW). The research was applying Taguchi Method on anaustenitic stainless steel specimen of dimensions 110 × 40 × 3 mm, which have following interested parameters: arc current at 150, 200, and 250 Amps, gas flow rate at 10, 20, and 30 kg/hr and arc voltage at 15, 20 and 25 Volt.The study was done in following aspects: Ultimate tensile strength. The present paper aims at the study of factors affecting tomechanical property of austenitic stainless steel with Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW) at different welding parameters.
