Abstract: This work aims at the analysis and optimization of joining similar grades of stainless steel by an arc welding. The parameters like current, filler materials, welding speed are the variables in this study. The mechanical properties and microstructure of 321 austenitic stainless steel welds are investigated, by using stainless steel filler material of different grades. Often in many product forms, the grain size and carbon content can meet both the 321S and 321H requirements.321 is often used at cryogenictemperatures, with excellent toughness to 450°F, and low magnetic permeability. 321 have a machinability rating of 42% relative to AISI B1112 steel. In this project the comparative study between normal welding and welding procedure specification is made for stainless steel grade 321 material by comparing its mechanical properties after welding
