A three-dimensional mathematical model and numerical techniques were developed for simulating a moving gas metal arc welding process. The model is used to calculate the transient distributions of temperature and velocity in the weld pool and the dynamic shape of the weld pool for aluminum alloy 6005-T4. Corresponding experiments were conducted and in good agreement with modeling predictions. The existence of a commonly observed cold-weld at the beginning of the weld, ripples at the surface of the weld bead, and crater at the end of the weld were all predicted. The measured microhardness around the weld bead was consistent with the predicted peak temperature and other metallurgical characterizations in the heat-affected zone.

Gas metal arc welding (GMAW) is the leading process in the development of arc welding process for higher productivity and quality. In this study, the effect of process parameters of argon gas welding on the strength of T type welded joint of AISI 310 stainless steel is analyzed. The Taguchi technique is used to develop the experimental matrix and tensile strength of the welded joint is measured using experimental method and finite element method. Optimization of input parameter is performed for the maximum tensile strength of welded joint using ANOVA. The results showed that welding speed is the most significant factor affecting the tensile strength followed by voltage in argon gas metal arc welding (AGMAW) process. Argon gas welding process performance with regard to the tensile strength is optimized at voltage: 18.5 V, wire feed speed: 63 m/min and welding speed: 0.36 m/min.
