An attempt made to optimize the operating parameters involved in an autogenous pulsed Nd: YAG laser welding process of similar and dissimilar combinations of butt joint of 2 mm thick 316 L stainless steel and mild steel. Influence of prominent laser welding parameters such as average peak power, defocus position, spot position, and shielding gas were investigated for welded joints considered. T...

The focus of this work is to design parameters for shielded metal arc welding to ensure continuous and leak proof joints. To achieve the object an attempt has been made to selected important welding parameters. The selected welding parameters are welding current, welding speed, electrode angle and electrode angle. The selection is purely based on field expert’s suggestions, literature Survey an...

A number of welding parameters are responsible for the quality of welds. The modeling of weld bead shape is important for predicting the quality of welds. In this paper, an attempt has been made to develop a back-propagation neural network (BPNN) model for the prediction of reinforcement height and width of bead in GTA bead-on plate welding process. The experimental results were used as testing...

The aim of this study is to investigate the optimization process parameters for Metal inert gas welding (MIG). In the present work, bead-on -plate welds were carried out on MS 5986 Fe 410 carbon steel sheets using Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW) process. In this present investigation ER70S-6 solid wire having 1.2 mm diameter was used as an electrode with direct current electrode positive polarity....

Rapid prototyping (RP) methods are used for production easily and quickly of a scale model of a physical part or assembly. Gas metal arc welding (GMAW) is a widespread process used for rapid prototyping of metallic parts. In this process, in order to obtain a desired welding geometry, it is very important to predict the weld bead geometry based on the input process parameters, which are voltage...

the aim of this article is study of tool plunge depth (tpd) effects on mechanical properties of friction stir welding of aa1100 aluminium alloy to a441 aisi steel. for this purpose the 0.1, 0.2, 0.4, and 0.6 mm tpd selected and other welding parameters kept constant. the results shows that the frictional heat increases and stir zone grain size decreases with increasing tpd at both base metals. ...

GAS TUNGSTEN ARC WELDING (GTAW) is the quality weld process. It is preferred welding process for stainless steel, low alloy steel, nickel, cobalt, titanium, aluminum, copper, and magnesium. The present work aims to evaluate the effect of Gas Tungsten Arc Welding process parameters on the quality of the weld bead. The process parameters Welding Current, Wire Diameter, Wire Feed Speed, Ratio of w...

Gas tungsten arc welding is fundamental in those industries where it is important to control the weld bead shape and its metallurgical characteristics. However, compared to the other arc welding process, the shallow penetration of the TIG welding restricts its ability to weld thick structures in a single pass (~ 2 mm for stainless steels), thus its productivity is relativity low. This is why th...

Tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding, also called as gas tungsten welding 1. (a) Schematic of TIG welding Process (b) Variety of tungsten electrodes. The activated TIG (ATIG) welding process mainly focuses on increasing the depth of penetration and the reduction in the width of weld bead has not been paid. Tungsten inert gas welding, TIG is widely applied in manufacturing process for different The ...
