The grain size, texture evolution, misorientation distributions and CSL grain boundary of weld metal (WM), HAZ and base metal (BM) have been observed at various welding conditions. With increasing heat input, the grain size in all cases increased at weld metal. With increasing heat input, no significant textural change was observed, but the characteristics of misorientation distributions and the CSL grain boundary decreased. Introduction The automated Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW) process is widely practiced in most industries for fabrication of welds due to its high productivity and high quality of welds. It has applications ranging from joining thin sections, pipelines, etc. to joining most large metal structures such as bridges,
