This paper presents the effect of longitudinal vibration, frequency and amplitude on yield strength, ultimate tensile strength, breaking strength and percentage of elongation on weldments prepared by the shielded metal arc process. The frequency range selected was 0 to 400 Hz, and the amplitude range was 0 to 40 [mu]m. It was found that the tensile properties of the weldments improved when compared with the static welded test specimens, but there was a reduction in the percentage of elongation for specimens prepared under vibratory conditions. Increased frequency resulted in better tensile properties, but the percentage of elongation was reduced with an increase in frequency. Frequency in the range of 0 to 400 Hz and amplitude from 5 to 30 [mu]m gave good results.
