Hi Sachin,

The percentage dilution can be determined by measuring areas labeled A and B. Percentage dilution is then calculated as state in figure 1.(attached)
Dilution is usually considered as a percentage of the base metal which has entered into the weld metal.
When two pieces of base metal are welded together, the final composition of the weld deposit consists of a mixture of base metal and filler metal. The portion of the base metal that has been melted in with the filler material and has diluted it may be expressed in percen dilution.

I hope this can help.
Best regards,,
