Quality of welded joint at MAG welding process depends of numbers of influences, like type and thickness of base metal, groove type, welding position etc., but the proper selection of welding parameters is also very important. Due to that, the analysis of weld bead geometry at MAG welding process with regard to weld current, voltage and weld speed (heat input) and the type and shielding gas flo...

Welding shrinkage and distortion affect the shape, dimensional accuracy and the strength of the finished product. This work concerns the prediction of welding distortion in a pulsed metal inert gas welding (PMIGW) process. Six different types of radial basis function network models have been developed to predict the distortion of welded plates. Six process parameters, namely pulse voltage, back...

In this research, the effect of vibration at the resonant range (75 Hz) on the hardness and tensile strength of AA-5083-H321 aluminum alloy, were welded by gas metal arc welding (GMAW) investigated. Vibration forces were ranged from 850 N to 2200 N, under identical welding parameters. Tensile strength and hardness testing of welded samples were performed. After mechanical tests, the fracture su...

This paper addresses the weld joint strength monitoring in pulsed metal inert gas welding (PMIGW) process. Response surface methodology is applied to perform welding experiments. A multilayer neural network model has been developed to predict the ultimate tensile stress (UTS) of welded plates. Six process parameters, namely pulse voltage, back-ground voltage, pulse duration, pulse frequency, wi...

The combination of GTAW (Gas Tungsten Arc Welding) and SMAW (Shield Metal processes on SA537 Class 2 carbon steel using variations heat input is the main choice to get best quality welded joints. This research aims joint material process with determine results mechanical properties microstructure analysis. experimental method uses a single V butt design, groove angle 60o, root face mm gap 4 as ...
