In present research, mathematical models have been established to predict the angular distortion in Metal Inert Gas(MIG) welding for 6mm plates of SS 202 grade for butt welded joints. The filler metal used was a continuously fed solid metal wire of stainless steel (304L).100% Argon gas was used to serve the purpose of shielding the weld pool from the atmosphere as it does not dissociate at high temperatures. This prevented any turbulence in the welding arc and deterioration in weld quality. To obtain experimental samples, the design matrix was developed using the statistical technique of central composite rotatable design (CCRD). Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) technique was used for the adequacy check of the models developed. The models developed can be used to find direct and interaction effect of the input parameters, namely welding speed (WS), voltage (V), nozzle to plate distance (NPD), torch angle (Ɵ) and wire feed rate (WFR) on the angular distortion.

In order to investigate the effect of active fluxes on weld penetration, angular distortion and weld morphology in gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW), three types of oxide fluxes-CaO, TiO2and Al2O3-were used in the welding of 5mm think stainless steel plates. Those powders were applied through a thin layer of the flux to produce a bead on plate welds. The results showed that compared with conventional TIG welding, increased weld penetration and reduced angular distortion of the weld piece were obtained with the application of active fluxes. However, the weld morphology was not changed significantly when the powders were coated on the surface of steel. It was also found that each of the powders has a fittest range in penetration increment. Whether the rate of the coating run out of the range, the effects of these active fluxes on the increased weld penetration were not obvious. The CaO flux has a narrow effective range for deep penetration, while the Al2O3powder does have no effect on A-TIG penetration. The mechanism of those different performances has not been found out. According to the investment, the mechanism of active fluxes for the increased weld penetration and reduced angular distortion is related to the contraction of the arc.
