Welding is an age-old method used for joining the metals permanently. The marine industry is a major user of sheet metal components that benefit from custom welded blanks (TWBs). These advantages encompass weight, cost, and noise savings, as well as increases in crash safety, improved efficacy, and oxidation resistance. However, machinability issues are prevalent as a result of the welding process. These benefits and drawbacks are explored, as well as TWB forming techniques, welding procedures, and materials utilized in the marine sector. In this study two different thickness 316L stainless steel grade plate welded using manual and automatic TIG Welding process. The process parameters are chosen for this study is welding current, voltage, welding speed, shielding gas & filler diameter. The manual TIG welded specimen was than compared with automatic TIG welded specimen in terms of Liquid Penetration test, tensile and impact test. The result and discussion are briefly explored.
