Determination of Tungsten Inert Gas Welding Input Parameters to Attain Maximum Tensile Strength of 316L Austenitic Stainless Steel
Journal Title: Strojnicky casopis - Journal of Mechanical Engineering - Year 2018, Vol 68, Issue 3
Abstract
Weld quality mainly depends on the weld bead geometry and mechanical-metallurgical characteristics of the welded joint which has a direct relationship with the type of welding process being used and its input process parameters i.e. welding current, arc voltage, travel speed etc. In the present study, determination of tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding input parameters for achieving maximum tensile strength of 316L austenitic stainless steel is investigated. Box-Behnken design of response surface methodology has been employed to formulate the experimental plan to identify the effect of process parameters on tensile strength. Square butt joint configuration has been made using three factors - three levels of welding input parameters. Joint strength has been evaluated by notch tensile strength (NTS) and Unnotch tensile strength (UTS) method and correlated with microstructure and micro hardness of the weld. The results indicate that gas flow rate has greater influence on both NTS and UTS followed by welding current.
