Abstract
In the present work AISI 316L stainless steel samples have been welded by MIG welding. Butt joints have been made. Plate thickness is kept constant (= 3mm). Some important parameters have been varied during welding. Thus several butt-welded joints have been made. Each sample of the joints has been prepared under certain combination of welding parameters. The parameters considered for variation, in the present work have been welding current, gas flow rate and nozzle to plate distance. The influence of the process parameters (mainly current, gas flow rate and nozzle to plate distance) has been examined visually and also through X-ray radiographic tests. Next, samples have been cut, machined to conform to some specified dimensions for tensile testing. The quality of the weld has been evaluated in terms of ultimate strength, yield strength and percentage of elongation of the welded specimens. The observed data have been interpreted, discussed and analyzed by using principal component analyses (PCA). Optimum parametric setting has been predicted and validated as well. Useful interpretations of the experimental results and subsequent analysis have been made to draw some meaningful conclusions.
