Abstract

With the trend towards welding automation and robotization, mathematical models for studying the influence of various variables on the weld bead geometry in gas metal arc (GMA) welding process are required. Partial penetration, single-pass bead-on-plate welds using the GMA welding process were fabricated in 12mm mild steel plates employed four different process variables. Experimental results has been designed to investigate the analytical and empirical formulae, and develop mathematical equations for understanding the relationship between process variables and weld bead geometry. The relationships can be usefully employed not only for open loop process control, but also for adaptive control provided that dynamic sensing of process output is performed.
