Abstract—In the present work a detailed study was done to study the effect of different compositions of chromium powder on mild steel, deposited by paste coating process. On coating weld metal AWS E7014 SMAW electrode was deposited with SMAW Process. Dilution of various nine samples has been checked .It was found that dilution mainly depend upon heat input and chemical composition of base metal and electrode material. It was further observed that sample have higher Cr content possess fine grain.
