Abstract |
Our project work done for minimizing the welding defects by taguchi method that occur during MIG welding Welding is the process of joining two similar or dissimilar metals permanently, where MIG welding uses inert gas for shielding and consumable metal for joining two metals. Metal Inert Gas welding (MIG) process is an important component in many industrial operations. The GMA welding parameters are the most important factors affecting the quality, productivity and cost of welding. This paper presents the influence of welding parameters like welding current, welding voltage, welding speed on penetration depth of MS material during welding. A plan of experiments based on Taguchi technique has been used to acquire the data. An Orthogonal array, signal to noise (S/N) ratio and analysis of variance (ANOVA) are employed to investigate the welding characteristics of MS material & optimize the welding parameters. Finally the conformations tests have been carried out to compare the predicated values with the experimental values confirm its effectiveness in the analysis of penetration. The effect of three parameters namely welding current, groove angle and gas flow rate was selected for making the welding joint using MIG welding process. These parameters were varied simultaneously using Taguchi method in order to investigate the effect of single factor effect and interactions on the tensile strength of the welded joint. |
