Abstract
In the present study, TC4 titanium alloy was gas tungsten arc welded to evaluate the mechanical and metallurgical properties of the welds. The welds were carried out at different welding conditions such as welding speed and current to identify their effect on microstructural changes and strength of the welds. The results of bead geometry measurements suggests that the fusion zone width and depth was greatly varying with the welding speed and current. It is also observed that the fusion zone microstructure and heat affected zones are greatly controlled by welding conditions. Therefore the mechanical properties of the welds were improved with the changes in welding conditions and are correlated with the metallurgical features of the welds. The optimal welding conditions were analysed using Box-Behnken design and analysis of variance technique for identifying strength of the welds and better bead geometry parameters.
