Abstract: Electric arc welding stands as a cornerstone in various industries for its efficacy in joining metal components. The paramount importance of achieving impeccable welds cannot be overstated, as they are pivotal for maintaining structural integrity and performance. This review meticulously scrutinizes optimization techniques tailored for electric arc welding parameters, with a specific focus on mild steel grade Fe 500, leveraging the Taguchi method. Renowned for its efficiency in experimental design and optimization, the Taguchi method has been extensively harnessed to refine weld quality by mitigating defects such as porosity, cracks, and lack of fusion. Offering a comprehensive insight, this paper first delineates the pivotal parameters inherent to electric arc welding and elucidates their profound impact on weld quality.
