Abstract
Abstract Submerged arc welding (SAW) is a type of welding process having wide range of applications like in fabrication of pressure vessel, pipe line, off shore structures, oil industry, etc., because of its high melting efficiency, high production rate and automation. Weld input factors such as welding voltage, welding current, travel speed, nozzle to plate distance and electrode diameter have a significant impact on the standard of created weld bead. Response surface methodology is used in the present work to find out the influence of welding voltage, welding current and travel speed on weld bead geometry. Face centred central composite design technique of RSM is used for Design of Experiment. It has been discovered that weld bead width grows with higher welding voltage but there is decrease in weld bead height, with increase in welding current there is increase in both weld bead width and weld bead height also but when travel speed is increased there is decrease in both weld bead width and weld bead height. The genetic algorithm for minimization of both weld bead width and height is also done. The predicted results from the created mathematical model, optimized model and the related experimental result are in good agreement.
期刊介绍:
Welding International provides comprehensive English translations of complete articles, selected from major international welding journals, including: Journal of Japan Welding Society - Japan Journal of Light Metal Welding and Construction - Japan Przeglad Spawalnictwa - Poland Quarterly Journal of Japan Welding Society - Japan Revista de Metalurgia - Spain Rivista Italiana della Saldatura - Italy Soldagem & Inspeção - Brazil Svarochnoe Proizvodstvo - Russia Welding International is a well-established and widely respected journal and the translators are carefully chosen with each issue containing a balanced selection of between 15 and 20 articles. The articles cover research techniques, equipment and process developments, applications and material and are not available elsewhere in English. This journal provides a valuable and unique service for those needing to keep up-to-date on the latest developments in welding technology in non-English speaking countries.
