Abstract

In this study, the Taguchi technique was employed to optimize the process parameters of submerged arc welding (SAW) in terms of mechanical properties such as Ultimate Tensile Strength (UTS) and hardness. The study considered a variety of weld quality factors and provided a detailed explanation of the procedure and results using the Taguchi method, which is a statistical analysis approach that requires fewer trials. The experiment was conducted on SA 516 GR70 material using a L9 orthogonal array and a range of current, voltage, and speed settings. The comparison of anticipated and experimental values with the mathematical model of regression analysis-ANOVA with and without interaction helped in achieving the desired results. Lastly, a verification experiment confirmed that the Taguchi technique is reliable in predicting UTS and hardness performance. Overall, this research provides valuable insights into optimizing the SAW process parameters for mechanical properties and demonstrates the effectiveness of the Taguchi technique in predicting and achieving optimal welding performance.
