Submerged Arc Welding (SAW) process has lot of social and economical implication. Critical set of variables are involved in this process, and they are needed to be controlled. An attempt has been made in this paper to find out- the influence of the heat input on HAZ hardness (change of hardness & microstructure) for Submerged Arc Welding Process of Mild steel plates. Mild steel plates are welded by changing input variables (current, voltage, trolley speed, i.e. heat input) and Rockwell hardness No. on different grid points (points are taken horizontally & vertically 2 mm apart) of welded surface and at the zone adjacent to the welded portion has been observed. A detailed analysis of the microstructure changes is carried out to understand the HAZ softening phenomenon.
