Abstract :The purpose of the welded structures is to combine the two different structures defined as the workpiece and the main material in order to ensure that they remain in the elastic deformation zone by meeting the loading conditions safely. Welding parameters such as preheating, welding speed, shielding gas selection, filler wire selection, voltage, current values affect the mechanical properties of the HAZ zone and the general structure, especially when welding fine-grained structural steels are performed. Strain gauge sensors can give normal stress and shear stress values for structures forced by static loadings depending on the stable x, y, z axes. The hotspot stress method used with the finite element method gives closer results to experimental studies. In this study, two different S960QL steels were combined with workpiece and main material using MAG welding. Data were taken from the strain gauge sensor connected to the samples prepared by the hotspot stress method. Using the finite element method, different types of models were analyzed and experimental data were compared with analysis outputs. As a result of the comparison, the most accurate welded joint analysis modeling with the hotspot method has been determined by the results of the experiment and analysis and has been proven with an accuracy rate of 89%.
