Design optimization of Process Parameters for TIG Welding based on Taguchi Method

The present study pertains to the improvement of ultimate load of stainless steel – mild steel weld specimen made of tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding. L16 orthogonal array (OA) of Taguchi method has been used to conduct the experiments using several levels of current, gas flow rate and filler rod diameter. Statistical techniques analysis of variance (ANOVA), signal-to-noise (S/N) ratio and graphical main effect plots have been used to study the effects of welding parameters on ultimate load of weld specimen. Optimum parametric condition obtained by Taguchi method. Confirmatory test has been conducted to validate the predicted setting
