Abstract
Hoes made with stainless steel instead of common carbon steel have several profitable properties, such as good corrosion resistance and durability, low cutting resistance and soil adhesion and the easiness to use.
On the effect of welding processes upon the properties of hoes made with SS and SUS, using alternating current electric arc welding, argon gas and acetylene gas welding were studied, respectively.
An amount of abrasion by a soil, weight loss due to corrosion by five per cent ammonium sulphate aqueous solution and the tensile properties were determined as to a factory manufactured goods severally welded.
