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.

Within this research study, Taguchi system of style of experimental was utilized to assess the impact of some welding process parameters of sound state welding techniques like rotational speed(spinning velocity), travel speed in addition to pin profile on Tensile Strength (UTS), microhardness in addition to effect strength of Friction Stir Welded (FSW) 2024 light weight aluminum alloy joint. An orthogonal array of L9 design was actually employed for experimental trials and also Signal to noise proportion( S/N) values for each process specifications was computed. Based upon the S/N review the optimal level of process specifications was actually decided on as 1120 revoltions per minute, 25 mm/min and also Cylinder pin with Flutes( CWF) for best Tensile Strength and also micro Hardness. The ideal degree of process parameters for Impact toughness was actually pinpointed as 1120rpm,31.5 mm/min and also Tapered Cylindrical pin account( Drawback). Depending on to Analysis of variance (ANOVA), it was seen that the task of spinning, travel velocity and also pin geometry was 37.31, 64.84 and 1.13 per-cent effect on Ultimate tensile strength, 34.16, 51.28 and 0.58 per-cent impact on micro Hardness as well as 50.10, 43.7 and 6.2 percent influence on Influence Toughness of joint respectively. Eventually based upon FSW guidelines a model was actually created for tensile strength, Micro Hardness and Toughness values. The results were confirmed by further experiments, which yield the experimented values as 349.83 MPa for tensile strength, 114.26 Hardness and 7.8kJ Impact strength.

Mild Steel Welding

Local welders in Nigeria are prone to poor quality weldment because of their lack of welding technical skills. When these local welders carry out their welding operation, the welded joints are considered to be good enough because the metal materials welded together are seen to be good and satisfactory. In most case, when these welded joints have not fully served their service life, these materials fail due to the poor quality of the weldment. Material quality can easily be assessed by inspecting the microstructure of the weldment. In this wok, mild steel welding process parameters were optimized using multivariate linear regression (MLR). The study involves the determination of the suitable set of conditions for the welding process parameters that would give the optimum weld of mild steel (low carbon steel) using Gas Metal Arc welding (GMAW) technique and obtain a relationship between the three welding process parameters and the ultimate tensile strength and Brinell hardness number. For this reason, an experimental study was carried out using nine samples of the specimen of mild steel. The experimental and predicted results show that arc voltage and gas flow rate affect the ultimate tensile strength and the Brinell hardness number of mild steel. The maximum ultimate tensile strength and Brinell hardness number were obtained at 180A, 15V and 20l/min. It was also observed that the ultimate tensile strength decreases with increases in arc voltage and gas flow rate. But these two parameters tend to have a positive effect on the Brinell hardness number.

Girth welded replica of API X70M material have been produced on NG-GMAW welding technique. The particular area of interest is to develop suitable girth welding process parameter using NGGMAW. The major aim of the work was to replicate welds having tensile strength between 650 and 680 MPa. Design of Experiment (DoE) method by Taguchi design, using some selected welding processes was adopted. Two process parameters (factors) – arc voltage and wire feed rate, (the variables), and three levels were used. The resultant joint property on tensile strength of X70M pipeline was examined. The targeted mechanical property was achieved by selecting the best process parameters. Their effects on ultimate tensile strength – UTS was analysed using statistical technique – analysis of variance - ANOVA and Signal to Noise - S/N ratio with ‘thebigger-the–better’ value. Validation was done using MIDAS NFX (an FEA) mechanical engineering software. In conclusion, process parameters that affects or influences the girth welded properties of API X70M under field conditions were identified. Guidance for the specifications and selection of processes that could be used in field-welding for optimum performance has been recommended.

Abstract Dissimilar materials joining between AZ31 magnesium alloy and SPHC mild steel with Al-Mg powder additives were successfully produced by friction stir welding process. Al-Mg powder additives were set in a gap between AZ31 and SPHC specimen's butt prior to welding. The experiments were performed for different weight percentages of Al-Mg powder additives at welding speeds of 25 mm/min, 50 mm/min and 100 mm/min with a constant tool rotational speed of 500 rpm. The effect of powder additives and welding speed on tensile strength, microhardness, characterization across welding interface and fracture morphology were investigated. Tensile test results showed significant enhancement of tensile strength of 150 MPa for 10% Al and Mg (balance) powder additives welded joint as compared to the tensile strength of 125 MPa obtained for welded joint without powder additives. The loss of aluminium in the alloy is compensated by Al-Mg powder addition during welding under a suitable heat input condition identified by varying welding speeds. Microstructural analysis revealed that the Al-Mg powder was well mixed and dispersed at the interface of the joint at a welding speed of 50 mm/min. Intermetallic compound detected in the welding interface contributed to the welding strength.
