This study has been conducted to reveal the effect of dilution on grain size and mechanical properties of the welds in SAW in low carbon steel weldments. In this study, the fluxes were designed using binary and ternary phase diagrams and RSM has been used for designing the number of experiments. The fluxes were made by agglomeration technique. This study reveals that the tensile strength of the welds increases with increasing weld dilution and the impact strength reduces with increasing dilution.
