ABSTRACT: In this work, the effect of arc welding on microstructures and mechanical properties of industrial low carbon steel (0.19 wt. % C) was studied. This steel is used for making gas storage cylinders. In order to realize the objective, optical microscopy, EBSD, X-ray diffraction, and hardness tests were used. Different zones and some phases are identified. New microstructural phenomenons are observed by using EBSD technique.
