AISI 304L is an austenitic Chromium-Nickel stainless steel offering the optimum combination of corrosion resistance, strength and ductility. These attributes make it a favorite for many mechanical components. The paper focuses on developing mathematical model to predict ultimate tensile strength of pulsed current micro plasma arc welded AISI 304L joints. Four factors, five level, central composite rotatable design matrix is used to optimize the number of experiments. The mathematical model has been developed by response surface method. The adequacy of the model is checked by ANOVA technique. By using the developed mathematical model, ultimate tensile strength of the joints can be predicted with 99% confidence level. Contour plots are drawn to study the interaction effect of pulsed current micro plasma arc welding parameters ultimate tensile strength of AISI 304L steel. The developed mathematical model has been optimized using Response Surface Method to maximize the ultimate tensile strength.

This article explains the use of the response surface method to produce the optimum tensile strength for the joining of dissimilar metals with the continuous drive friction welding method. The joining of dissimilar metals is one of the biggest challenges in providing industrial applications. Continuous drive friction welding has been extensively used as one of the important solid-state welding processes. In this study, the optimization of the friction welding process parameters is established to achieve the maximum tensile strength in AA6061 and AISI304 dissimilar joints via the response surface methodology. The effect of continuous drive friction welding parameters, which are friction pressure, friction time, upset pressure, and upset time, are investigated using response surface analysis. The design matrix factors are set as 27 experiments based on Box-Behnken. The 3D surface and the contour is plotted for this model to accomplish the tensile strength optimization. The optimization model of the tensile strength was verified by conducting experiments on the optimum values of the parameters based on the experimental data results. It can be denoted that the optimum process parameters settings were friction pressure = 25 MPa, friction time = 6 seconds, upset pressure = 140 MPa, and upset time = 8 seconds, which would result in a maximum tensile strength of 228.57 MPa.

Purpose The demand for aluminium alloys has been increasing in almost all the fields. In this study, the friction stir welding (FSW) of similar aluminium alloy AA 8011-h14 has been presented using three levels of tool rotational speed (n), tool tilt angle (ϴ) and tool feed (f). The purpose of this paper is to study the effect of welding parameters on various properties and time-temperature plots. Design/methodology/approach FSW was carried out using the L-9 orthogonal array of welding parameters generated using the Taguchi approach. Visual inspection and radiography testing were conducted to detect the surface and volume defects, respectively. Taguchi analysis was carried out to get optimised welding parameters for tensile testing. The microstructural analysis was carried out for the specimen possessing maximum tensile strength and the obtained grain structures were compared with the microstructure results of the base material. The peak process temperatures were noted and time-temperature plots were analysed for the varying parameters. The maximum value of hardness was recorded and analysed. Findings Visual inspection and radiography testing confirmed defect-free joints. The maximum tensile strength achieved was 84.44 MPa with 64.95 per cent efficiency. The optimised parameters obtained using Taguchi analysis for tensile testing were 1,500 rpm, 1° and 50 mm/min. Microstructure analysis for the specimen possessing maximum tensile strength revealed fine and equiaxed grains in the nugget zone. Time-temperature plots suggested the maximum temperature of 389 °C on the advancing side. A maximum hardness value of 36.4 HV was obtained in the nugget zone. Originality/value As per the knowledge of the authors, this study is the first attempt for the detailed experimental analysis on the FSW of this particular aluminium alloy AA 8011-h14.
