Abstract

Gas shielded welding is a widely applied fabrication processes in manufacturing industry. The present study will elucidate on an investigative approach to find the mechanical properties, influenced by several input parameters like welding current, voltage and wire spool speed in the Metal Active Gas Welding (MAG) of Mild Steel. Taguchi’s L9 orthogonal array has been employed to analyse the process parameters. The levels of consequences of input parameters were investigated by applying analysis of variance (ANOVA). The microstructural orientations and mechanical properties of weld specimen are explored in this work. Welding current is an influential parameter to control tensile strength followed by welding voltage and federate of electrode. Furthermore, hardness of weld material has a greater effect of voltage including wire speed and current.
