Application of Taguchi Method to Determine MIG Welding Parameters for AISI 1020
Keywords:
Microstructure, MIG, Taguchi Method, Gas Flow Rate.Abstract
Mild Steel alloy 1020 is a Mn-S-P alloy employed in simple structural applications. MIG welding is used in this study for welding AISI 1020. 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. The hardness of the welded joint will be discussed in order to correlate with the tensile strength of welded joint.
