This study investigates how sulfur and chlorine affect welded steel by examining its mechanical properties. In a welded environment, these components are available, which impacts the strength of the welded joint. The study aims to construct a steel specimen that has been welded and drenched in various concentrations (5 types) of sulfur and chlorine content for 5 days. Two types of mechanical tests, such as tensile and flexural, have been carried out. The source of the Sulfur is chlorine ammonium sulfate and sodium chloride. In flexural strength, sulfur always performs better than chlorine, while the opposite scenario is in flexural modulus. Sulfur content shows a better performance of 0.3% in flexural analysis. In tensile modulus, chlorine content shows better results in tensile modulus and tensile strength. In tensile analysis, 0.1% chlorine content has better tensile modulus and better tensile strength. To improve long-term structural dependability, this study intends to give significant insights into how welded steel might degrade when exposed to Sulfur and chlorine. These results may assist enhance welding procedures and advise better material selections.
