Abstract—In the welding process, the major factors whose selection contributes to the welded product as they all affect the strength and quality of the weld strength to a larger extent are hardness, electrode diameter and weld design (edge preparation). The purpose of this thesis is to efficiently determine the optimum welding operation parameters for achieving the highest breaking strength in the range of parameters. In order to meet the purpose in terms of both efficiency and effectiveness, this study will utilize the Taguchi parameter design methodology. The study includes selection of parameters, utilizing an orthogonal array, conducting experimental runs, data analysis, determining the optimum combination, verification experimentally finally the Modelling of input parameters (Hardness, Diameter of Electrode & Weld Design) and output parameter (Breaking Strength) is done using Taguchi optimization technique. Key words: Welding Parameters, Electric Arc Welding, Taguchi Method, welding design, hardness.
