Abstract

This paper optimize and analyze the MIG welding parameter for improving strength of welded joint. This is about study of hardness and toughness with respect to various input parameters, which include welding current, wire feed rate, gas flow rate. Gas Metal Arc Welding is a process in which the source of heat is an arc format between consumable metal electrode and the work piece with an externally supplied gaseous shield of gas either inert such as argon and helium. This experimental study aims at optimizing various Gas Metal Arc welding parameters including welding voltage, welding current and welding speed by using factorial design approach to reduce the no of level and analyze the welded area of a mild steel specimen. Factorial design approach has been applied for finding the relationship between the various process parameters.
