Welding is a broadly used joining process for metals and alloys. The purpose of this review is therefore to summarize the published literature and to evaluate the effect of various arc welding process parameters like welding current, welding voltage, welding speed and heat input on corrosion resistance, micro-structure, strength, hardness and toughness of steel welds. After review of literature papers it was concluded that corrosion resistance varies with change in heat input and best corrosion resistance obtained using moderate heat input. The welding fusion zone has coarse structure while heat affected zone has fine grain structure.
