Abstract

Gas Metal Arc welding process aims to produce welded joint with the excellent mechanical properties with minimum distortion and desired weld bead parameters. In welding, input process parameters decides the quality of weld joint. Manufacturer are facing problem of controlling the process input parameters to obtain a good welded joint with the bead geometry. Prediction of weld bead geometry play very important role in determining the quality of weld. This paper aims at prediction of bead geometry parameters using response surface methodology and finite element analysis of gas metal arc welded joints of aluminium alloy.
