Welding is a widely used fabrication technique in which the joining of the two metals takes place with the propagation of weld bead which assures the weld metal with properties better than base metal. Now a days the role of welding is extended to the fields of automotive, aerospace, missile, power, electronic, steel, machine tools etc. The present work is based on the research of structural analysis of welded and weld-repaired joints. The study includes both experimentation and simulation analysis of Al (AL 356A), MS and CI based butt joints to identify their behavior at varying loads and also with that of the base metals. The application of experimental simulation is made to find the yield strength, ultimate tensile strength, compression strength, thermal conductivity, specific heat etc. These results are compared with those of experimentation results of both base and weld metal of AL, MS and CI.
