Abstract

This research aims to investigate virtual reality arc welding using shielded metal arc welding (SMAW) and to compare three different types of welding wire (E6010, E6013, and E7018) respectively. The working method includes testing for three types of welding. The method is SMAW, but there are differences in the welding wire (E6010, E6013, and E7018). The research results indicated a discrepancy in the welding results and a clear difference between the testers in terms of zigzag and filling of the welding field. Therefore, the highest score achieved of 51 of the E6013 wire types, which was reached at position 80, arc length 49, working angle 27, travel angle 42, and travel speed 60. The results will contribute to increasing the ability of the testers to obtain better future results through their knowledge of the errors that occurred.
