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.

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.

This chapter presents the effect of various process parameters, namely laser power, pulse frequency, and welding speed, on the weld shear strength and weld width using a diode laser system. Here, laser transmission welding of transparent polycarbonate and black carbon filled acrylic each of 2.8 mm thickness have been performed to create lap joint by using low power laser. Response surface methodology is applied to develop the mathematical model between the laser welding process parameters and the responses of weld joint. The developed mathematical model is tested for its adequacy using analysis of variance and other adequacy measures. It has been observed that laser power and welding speed are the dominant factor followed by frequency. A confirmation test has also been conducted to validate the experimental results at optimum parameter setting. Results show that weld strength of 34.3173 N/mm and weld width of 2.61547 mm have been achieved at optimum parameter setting using desirability function-based optimization technique.

Incoloy 800

Due to high wear resistance and chemical stability at high temperature, cobalt base alloys have presently been used as materials for hardfacing in several applications, for example, coating a head of thermowell, a protecting part for thermocouple, in petrochemical production. One of various techniques used for hardfacing is often weld cladding by using a gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW) method. However, welding parameters should be exactly controlled in order to obtain desired materials due to their structure. The objective of this experiment is to study the influence of the GTAW parameters on the high-temperature erosion-corrosion resistance of Incoloy 800 thermowell cladded by the cobalt-base alloy filler, Stellite12 (Co-29.5Cr-8.5W-1.4C) at 900°C. The studied parameters were welding speed in the range of 0.1-0.9 mm s-1, welding current in the range of 60-75 A, and flow rate of pure Ar used as shield gas in the range 3-20 liter min-1. The results showed that when erosion rates had a tendency to increase with increasing current for all welding speed except 0.8 mm s-1. The erosion rate decreased with the increasing current for the welding speed of 0.8 mm s-1. Using flow rate of 5 liter min-1induced the lowest erosion rate. The optimum GTAW parameters giving the lowest erosion rate were the welding current of 75 A, flow rate of 5 litter min-1, and welding speed of 0.8 mm s-1. However, it was found that hardness results did not correspond to the erosion rate. It was found that high hardness led to heavy mass loss due to the fracture on the surface. From metallographic observation, the oxidation could be observed on the sample surface before the erosion testing. However, the spallation of oxide scale might be involved due to the high erosion rate. It was also observed that the solid solution phases influenced more significantly on the erosion - corrosion resistance than the carbide did.

The objective of this paper is to generate a mathematical model in order to minimize the value of surface roughness (Ra) through EDM by constructing an objective function consisting of combination of process parameters. Taguchi orthogonal design method of experiments with three process parameters viz., current, pulse-on-rate, pulse-off-rate were used to generate 25 numbers of experiments L25 at five levels. Experiments were carried out in Electronica S50 (CNC) EDM. Data obtained for performance measurement was subjected regression analysis using ANOVA. Equation was obtained for the surface roughness as a function of current, pulse-on rate, pulse-off-rate.It is found that discharge current, pulse-on-rate, and pulse-off-rate have significant effect on the Ra. Higher values of current and pulse-on-rate increased surface roughness. Lower current, lower pulse-on-rate and relatively higher pulse-off-rate produced a better surface finish.

Abstract Vacuum roll-cladding (VRC) is an effective method to produce high quality ultra-heavy AISI P20 plate steel. In the process of VRC, reasonable welding process of electron beam welding (EBW) can significantly avoid welding cracks and reduce the cost. In this paper, the electron beam welding process of AISI P20 tool steel was simulated by using a combined heat source model based on finite element method, and the temperature field and stress field under different welding parameters were studied respectively . The results showed that welding parameters have a greater effect on weld penetration than that of weld width, which making the aspect ratio increases with the increase of welding current, and decrease with the increase of welding speed. The weld morphologies were consistent with those of the modeling and the measured thermal heat curves were good agreement with those of simulated, which was verified the feasibility and effectiveness of temperature fields. The results of stress fields under different welding parameters indicat ed that lower welding speed and higher welding current resulting in lower residual stress at welded joint, which means lower risk of cracking after EBW. The results of this study have been successfully applied to industrial production.

<p class="Abstract">In this study, research on the use of the External Magnetic Field method – Tungsten Inert Gas was done to determine the effect of welding arc compression on the quality of <em>AISI 304 </em>thin plate weld. The welding process was performed using autogenous welds. In this study, an external magnetic field was generated by placing a magnetic solenoid around the <em>TIG</em> welding torch. Enabling this electromagnetic field is done dynamically using a microcontroller. Welding parameters used are welding current <em>100; 105; 110 A</em> and welding speed <em>1.6; 1.8; 2.05 mm/s</em>. The results of this study showed that <em>EMF-TIG</em> welding can produce a more uniform bead width along the weld line with a standard deviation of 0.08 compared with conventional <em>TIG </em>welding of <em>0.12</em>. Increased welding speed of  <em>2.05 mm/s</em> causes no effect on the addition of an external magnetic field to the width of the weld bead. The current parameters are <em>105 A </em>with a speed of <em>1.6; 1.8; 2.05 mm/s</em> resulted in compression of the top bead width by <em>0.87; 0.61; 0.1 mm</em>. The welding parameters with a current of 105 A and welding speed of <em>1.6 mm/s</em> have a larger upper bead compression effect of <em>0.84 mm</em> compared to <em>110 A</em> currents of <em>0.38 mm</em>. Moreover, the <em>D/W</em> ratio obtained under an external magnetic field was higher than without magnetic.</p>

Weld Appearance

The underwater wet welding (UWW) technology is rapidly developing as a crucial method in the maintenance work of marine equipment and offshore platform. The rapid development of UWW technology has also exposed the problems to be solved urgently. Therefore, the influence of welding parameters on the weld appearance and welding spatters was investigated in this paper. The main welding parameters used in the study are welding current, arc voltage, welding speed and the contact tip-to-work distance (CTWD). Through the orthogonal test, it is found that, as each welding parameter increases within a certain range, the amounts of welding spatter decreases first and then increases, and the weld forming effect first becomes better and then deteriorates. The amount of wet welding spatter is mainly affected by the welding speed. When the welding speed is low, the splash is more, and the change of the welding current and the arc voltage has a little effect on the number of spatters. When the welding speed is large, the spatter is most with a small welding current and a large arc voltage. After evaluating the weld morphology obtained by welding under various parameters, a set of optimal parameters was obtained. The best parameters for the underwater wet welding of stainless steel with self-shielded flux-cored wire are determined to be 200 A-29 V-2.0 mm/s-15 mm (CTWD).

Flux-aided backing-submerged arc welding has been conducted on D36 steel with thickness of 20 mm. The effects of processing parameters such as welding current, voltage, welding speed and groove angle on welding quality were investigated by Taguchi method. The optimal welding parameters were predicted and the individual importance of each parameter on welding quality was evaluated by examining the signal-to-noise ratio and analysis of variance (ANOVA) results. The importance order of the welding parameters for the welding quality of weld bead was: welding current [Formula: see text] welding speed [Formula: see text] groove angle [Formula: see text] welding voltage. The welding quality of weld bead increased gradually with increasing welding current and welding speed and decreasing groove angle. The optimum values of the welding current, welding speed, groove angle and welding voltage were found to be 1050 A, 27 cm/min, 40[Formula: see text] and 34 V, respectively.
