Welding is a manufacturing process, which is carried out for joining of metals by Metal Inert Gas (MIG) welding. This is the one types of Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW), in which Argon and Helium is used as a inert gas. Shielding gas Argon and Helium is used and consumable electrode is used which also plays role of conductor. MIG welding is versatile, gives very little loss of alloying elements a...

This study investigated the optimization of three welding parameters (wire feed speed, arc voltage, and shielding gas flow rate) for SS 304H by using Taguchi based Grey relational analysis. In this research work, pure argon was used as shielding gas. Numbers of trials were performed as per L16 (4xx3) orthogonal array design and the mechanical quality such ultimate tensile strength, microhardnes...

Resistance spot welding (RSW) is the most popular joining technique used by automotive industries for the manufacture of automobile body structure. In automobile industries, the weight saving effect of replacing steel parts is an important factor in reducing fuel consumption and increasing speed and natural resources savings. In this study, A5052 aluminium alloy sheet having 1 mm thickness were...

  Friction-stir welding process is a novel method of solid state welding, which produces heat due to friction between the pin, the shoulder and the workpiece. This heat causes a paste area. Shoulder pressure and pin spin cause edges integration and lead to welding. In this study, firstly, the feasibility of welding of steel sheet (EN10130) with a thickness of 1.5mm has been tested by 58 experim...

The axial force measurement plays important role in tool designing and identification of its restrictions. Also, it is vital in design of machine mechanism and optimization of welding process parameters. In this study, a friction stir welded butt join on AA7075-T651 aluminum alloy plate is investigated. With change of some parameters, factors including axial force, mechanical properties, microh...

Development of techniques for joining and welding materials on a micrometer scale is of great importance in a number of applications, including life science, sensing, optoelectronics and MEMS packaging. In this paper, methods of welding and sealing optically transparent materials using a femtosecond fiber laser (1 MHz & 1 μm) were demonstrated which overcome the limit of small area welding of o...

This paper addresses the weld joint strength monitoring in pulsed metal inert gas welding (PMIGW) process. Response surface methodology is applied to perform welding experiments. A multilayer neural network model has been developed to predict the ultimate tensile stress (UTS) of welded plates. Six process parameters, namely pulse voltage, back-ground voltage, pulse duration, pulse frequency, wi...
