A Review Paper on Optimization of Shielded Metal Arc Welding Parameters for Welding of (Ms) Sa-516 Gr.70 Plate by Using Taguchi Approach

Authors(3) :-Afnan Dadi, Proff. Bhupesh Goyal, Mr. Hardik Patel

Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW) is the most used welding process in the small scale industries and for repair work, because of low cost, flexibility, portability and versatility. Shielded metal arc welding uses consumable electrode metal filler rod and is covered by flux coating that gives slag through burning of electrode which will give shield gases to protect from atmospheric oxides. SMAW has various welding parameters that affect the quality, productivity and cost of welding. Proper selection of process will give better weld strength. The present work is to optimize the parameter of SMAW process of mild steel by using Taguchi method and ANNOVA analysis. To fulfill this objective, selecting important welding parameters like welding current, root gap and thickness of plate as per field experts suggestions and available literature. On the selected parameters, trails have been conducted as per Taguchi method.
