Conventionally, the metal joining process used to be carried out using fasteners and rivets. Since the advancements in technology, the metal joining process is now performed via welding. Because welding affects the mechanical properties, the importance of welding parameters to determine the mechanical properties of welded plates is considered. This research reviews the impact of Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW) parameters on the mechanical properties of low-carbon, mild, and stainless-steel welded joints. It is necessary to understand the welding parameters to get the product of desired quality. In the past, the studies, the welding parameters: welding speed and current, were considered to find the impact via destructive testing (DT), including hardness and tensile tests. The present study aims to review the impact of welding parameters on hardness and tensile tests carried out in the past.
