This study presents the Taguchi design method with L9 orthogonal array which was carried out to optimize the flux-cored arc welding (FCAW) process parameters such as welding current, welding voltage, welding speed, and torch angle with reference to vertical for the ferrite content of duplex stainless steel (DSS, UNS S32205) welds. The analysis of variance (ANOVA) was applied, and a mathematical model was developed to predict the effect of process parameters on the responses. The results indicate that welding current, welding voltage, welding speed, torch angle with reference to vertical, and the interaction of welding voltage and welding speed are the significant model terms connected with the ferrite content. The ferrite content increases with the increase of welding speed and torch angle with reference to vertical, but decreases with the increase of welding current and welding voltage. Through the developed mathematical model, the target of 50% ferrite content in weld metal can be obtained when all the welding parameters are set at the optimum values. Finally, in order to validate experimental results, confirmation tests were implemented at optimum working conditions. Under these conditions, there was good accordance between the predicted and the experimental results for the ferrite content.

The microstructure of a weldment can be maintained by ensuring a steady state homogenous melting profile of the welding operation, which includes the deposition of optimum volumes of melted filler wire and substantial part of the heat affected zones of the parent metal to form the weld pool. The melting pattern of the entire welding process should be protected from atmospheric air, so as to enhance weldment quality. In this study, the melting profile of mild steel is investigated by looking at the parent metal angular distortion bead width and penetration volumes of deposited filler and the melting efficiency was determined. Predictive models were also developed to determine the above listed melting properties by applying the regression analysis. The result obtained showed that, there is almost a perfect fit between the calculated and predicted angular distortion, as well as between the calculated and predicted volume of filler wire melted. There is also a close correlation between the calculated and predicted melting efficiency. However, for the bead width, bead penetration and volume of weld metal deposited, there were variations of values and a heterogeneous correlation between the calculated, measured and predicted values. The effects of the process parameters on the obtained properties of the melting profile were investigated and optimum process parameters were determined.

In welding, the quality of welded joints is greatly influenced by the welding process parameters. Thus, in order to achieve a good weld quality, there is exigency to select the right welding process parameters. The focus of this study is to investigate the effect of Metal Inert Gas (MIG) welding process parameters; welding current, welding voltage and welding speed on the tensile strength of mild steel AA10119 welded plates. The experiment was designed using Taguchi’s L9 orthogonal array with three levels. Kaierda MIG MAG Inverter CO2 Welder Model E-180 welding machine was used to conduct the experiments with three repetitions. From the analysis carried out by applying Taguchi’s method, the result shows that the welding speed and welding current have the most significant influence on tensile strength of the weld and an optimum parameter setting of A3B2C2 was suggested; welding current 240 A, welding voltage 25 V and welding speed 0.010 m/s. The mean tensile strength at this optimal setting A3B2C2 was predicted to be 442 N/mm2.

Ecological Resources

The present work investigates TIG in terms of strength and energy consumption during joining of dissimilar metal plates between 304 Stainless Steel and AISI 1018 Mild Steel. TIG welding basically promotes a sustainable environment because it consumes less energy. Energy conservation means to reduce imbalance between demand and energy supply that is necessary to protect ecological resources and natural environment. TIG welding is a precision welding process which makes possible for joining of thinner and lighter materials. Joining of various dissimilar metals becomes great interest owing to the different challenges that are posed by deviation in the material composition as well as the characteristics of the joined metals. The main objective is to optimize energy consumption and tensile strength by taking effective process parameters that are Current, Travel Speed and Gas Flow Rate and also determination of main influential process parameters on energy consumption and tensile strength by using Taguchi method. Contour plot has also been shown in this present investigation.
