Abstract
Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW) is a commonly employed method for joining steel in general industrial applications, encompassing both similar metals (SMW) and dissimilar metals (DMW) welding, primarily due to economic considerations. However, the welding process itself can lead to a reduction in joint strength. In order to identify the parameters and testing methods that can be developed, it is possible to gather and statistically analyze previous research studies. Through the data analysis of parameter types and testing in both SM and DM welding, significant research gaps can be identified, paving the way for further research and exploration in this field. This has consequently spurred the advancement of welding research, which focuses on exploring various parameters and conducting tests to achieve high-quality welds.
