Optimisation of the weld bead geometry in gas tungsten arc welding by the Taguchi method
Tóm tắt
In this paper, determination of the welding process parameters for obtaining an optimal weld bead geometry in gas tungsten arc welding is presented. The Taguchi method is used to formulate the experimental layout, to analyse the effect of each welding process parameter on the weld bead geometry, and to predict the optimal setting for each welding process parameter. Experimental results are presented to explain the proposed approach.
