Joint Quality

Quality is the collection of features and characteristics of a product that contribute to its ability to meet given requirements. The quality of a weld joint is directly influenced by the welding parameters during the welding process. Often, a common problem that has been faced by the manufacturer is the control of the process parameters to obtain a good welded joint. Quality level is denoted as the probability of conformance and is a function of system variables and system specification. The present work is aimed to improve the quality of the weldment in SAW using Weighted Principal Component based Taguchi method. Three process parameters such as voltage, carriage speed and stand of distance are identified to carry out the study. Mechanical properties such as tensile strength and hardness are considered to be the response parameters in the present study.

Abstract The aim of this work is to carry out the design of experiments that determine the influence of the welding parameters using Taguchi’s method on the grain size, HAZ, and the degree of dilution in 6063-T5 alloy. The welding process used is GMAW and the welding parameters are power, welding speed and bevel spacing. The study of the influence of the welding parameters on the measurements made in the welding (which are the size of heat affected zone, the degree of dilution, and the grain size) allows one to determine the quality of the joint . In addition, the welding parameter most influential in minimising the three measurements will be determined.

The paper presents the optimization of spot welding parameters using offline simulation. The procedure of making simulation with SORPAS® is similar to the procedure of doing practical welding process, which can be divided into the following three steps:Data preparation - the materials and geometries of the workpieces and electrodes are defined, the type of welding machine is selected and the process parameters are specified.Running simulation of welding - the parts are welded in the selected welding machine with the specified process parameter settings. The simulations can be carried out in four ways: single simulations, batch simulations, automated optimizations and weld planning.Evaluation of results - the results of welding and quality of weld are evaluated thus the design and parameter settings are verified. With the optimization procedures the weld growth curve can be obtained.

Recent evidences shows that the more and more manufacturing companies are recognizing the importance and necessity of quality improvement if they are to survive domestic and world-wide competition..Day by day technology is changing, accordingly the approach and the techniques to manage overall processes are also renewed. A systematic and efficient way to meet this challenge is the continuous process improvement. The continuous process improvement can be achieved by practicing TQM concepts. The important concepts are optimization of performance, quality and cost.. In this paper an attempt is made in an industry to optimize the process parameters of the welding process so that the overall performance of the process and the quality of product is improved. The Taguchi technique uses a tool called Orthogonal Array and a measure of quality called Signal-to-Noise ratio. .ANOVA is used to optimize the welding parameters (input parameters) to find the responses { output parameters) . The optimized input parameters are used to compare the output responses for both theoretical and actual , those obtained from the profile projector. The actual values are found to be comparable to the calculated values.

Tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding on Duplex stainless steel (DSS) is more easy, comfortable and useful, if the process is precisely understood and controlled through development of the science & technology. TIG welding on DSS has been performed with the help of specific controlled welding process parameters. Welding quality has been strongly depended on these process parameters. In this study, some valuable welding parameters are chosen. These are welding current, shielding gas flow rate and speed of welding. These process parameters of TIG welding for ASTM/UNS 2205 DSS welds are optimized by using Principal Component Analysis (PCA) method and Grey based Taguchi’s L9 Orthogonal array (OA) experimental plan with the conception of signal to noise ratio (N/S). After that, compression results of above mentioned two analyses of TIG welding process parameters have been calculated. The quality of the TIG welding on DSS has been evaluated in term of ultimate tensile strength, yield strength and percentage of elongation. Compression results of both analyses indicate application feasibility for continuous improvement of welding quality on DSS in different components of chemical, oil and gas industries.

Welding Processes

In the present work, an analysis of different welding parameters was carried out on the welding of stainless-steel thin thickness tubes by the Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW) process. The influence of three main parameters, welding voltage, movement angle, and welding current in the quality of the welds, was studied through a specifically designed experimental process based on the establishment of three different levels of values for each of these parameters. Weld quality is evaluated using destructive testing (macrographic analysis). Specifically, the width and root penetration of the weld bead were measured; however, some samples have been disregarded due to welding defects outside the permissible range or caused by excessive melting of the base metals. Data are interpreted, discussed, and analyzed using the Taguchi method and ANOVA analysis. From the analysis of variance, it was possible to identify the most influential parameter, the welding voltage, with a contribution of 43.55% for the welding penetration and 75.26% for the bead width, which should be considered in the designs of automatic welding processes to improve the quality of final welds.

In the research project presented in this paper, the effects of welding width, pressure force, power, and speed of ultrasonic welding parameters on hydrostatic pressure resistance were examined. A flexible and lightweight PVC-coated hybrid textile material with uniform thickness was used for weather protection purposes. Three main welding parameters at three different levels were selected based on the preliminary test results involving welding widths of 6 and 12 mm. A lapped type of seam was applied for ultrasonic welding and conventional joining techniques. A conventionally sewn zigzag seam was produced using three main factors at two different levels according to the application area. To avoid seam permeability, the conventional seam was sealed with tape by means of hot-air tape welding and subsequently investigated regarding its hydrostatic pressure resistance. The hydrostatic pressure resistance value of the conventional seam was then compared with ultrasonic weld seams of 6 and 12 mm welding width, and its parametric influence on the quality of the seam was analyzed. The result shows that the ultrasonic weld seam with a 12 mm welding width provided a higher hydrostatic pressure resistance than the 6 mm welding width and the conventionally sewn seam. Statistical analyses were also carried out to prove the significant effect of welding process parameters on hydrostatic pressure resistance, whereby the obtained results were statistically significant. A suitable nonlinear numerical model was also developed to predict the hydrostatic pressure resistance.

In submerged arc welding (SAW), weld quality is greatly affected by the weld parameters such as welding current, traverse speed, arc voltage and stickout since they are closely related to weld joint. The joint quality can be defined in terms of properties such as weld bead geometry and mechanical properties. There are several control parameters which directly or indirectly affect the response parameters. In the present study, an attempt has been made to search an optimal parametric combination, capable of producing desired high quality joint in submerged arc weldment by Taguchi method coupled with weighted principal component analysis. In the present investigation three process variables viz. Wire feed rate (Wf), stick out (So) and traverse speed (Tr) have been considered and the response parameters are hardness, tensile strength (Ts), toughness (IS).

Цель рассмотрения численного метода заключалась в получении подробных данных, позволяющих оценить проведение сварочного процесса: изменение объёма сварного шва, радиуса сварного шва, радиуса зоны термического влияния. При проведении моделирования авторами выведены зависимости параметров точечной сварки низкоуглеродистой стали толщиной до 3,2 мм. Данные зависимости будут определять качество сварных швов. Соответствующее сочетание параметров точечной сварки обеспечит прочное соединение и хорошее качество сварки. The purpose of the numerical method consideration was to obtain detailed data allowing evaluating the performance of the welding process: changing the volume of the weld, the radius of the weld, the radius of the weld-affected zone. During the simulation the authors have derived dependencies of the parameters of spot welding of low-carbon steel up to 3.2 mm thick. These dependencies will determine the quality of the welds. The correct combination of spot welding parameters will ensure a firm joint and good welding quality.

In this paper, we present an innovative welding process for packaging applications developed by SEALESTER Company. For polymer films, studies have revealed that the welding interface must reach a specific temperature, known as “sealing initiation temperature”, to obtain a sealed joint. In this paper, we will be studying the effect of the process parameters on the evolution of temperature at the welding interface. For this purpose, thermocouples have been placed between the films at different points of the trajectory to measure the temperature evolution. Process parameters and temperature measurements were recorded in each experiment. Results show that the most influential parameters are the temperature and the linear velocity of the tool. Rotational frequency affects the heat distribution on the sealing surface. A minimum pressure must be applied. In conclusion, this new process can produce sealed polymer packages. Future work will consist of studying the quality of obtained seal in addition to optimization and control of the process.
