In order to study the effects of laser induced metal vapour on arc plasma during laser arc double sided welding (LADSW), emission spectroscopy techniques were utilised. The arc plasma in LADSW of 5A06 aluminium alloy was compared with conventional gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW) in this work. The electron temperature and density were estimated by the Saha– Boltzmann equation and the Stark broad...

The objective of this research is to apply intelligent control methodology to improve weld quality. Based on fuzzy logic and artificial neural network theory, a self-learning fuzzy and neural network control scheme has been developed for real-time control of pulsed gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW). Using an industrial TV camera as the sensor, the weld face width of the weld pool, i.e., the feedb...

This paper aims at optimization of process parameters for gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW) of sheet samples of Aluminium alloy AA1100 using AC wave with Argon as inert gas. Tensile properties of parent and welded specimens were determined as per ASTM-E8M standard. Taguchi approach was applied to determine most influential control parameters which will yield better tensile strength of the joints ...

Gas-Shielded Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW) was modified to a Flux-Cored-Double-Wire GTAW (FCDW-GTAW); in this technique, wires of different compositions are used simultaneously obtain microstructures.
