Abstract

This paper studied on design parameter selection of Submerged Arc Welding (SAW) on SA36 low carbon steel with multi-objectives Taguchi method. In this research, the effects of welding parameters on weldment joint and mechanical properties were investigated. SAW is one of the arc welding processes to provide high quality of weld. The quality of weld in SAW is mainly influenced by independent variable such as welding current, arc voltage, and welding speed. The prediction of process parameters involved in SAW is very complex process. Experimentation was planned as per Taguchi L9 Orthogonal array considering three SAW parameter such as welding current, arc voltage and welding speed. There are three levels used in this research consisting of 250-300-350 Ampere, 22-25-28 Voltage and 16-18-20 meter per hour. The experimental results were analyzed by using Minitab 19 software. It was found that the most significant parameter which effects the quality of weldment joint is current and followed by voltage and travel speed. The optimal parameter achieved as A1V1S3 which is current (22 A), voltage (250 V) and travel speed (20 m/h).
