  Optimization Of Mechanical Properties Of 500/7 Grade Ductile Cast Iron (DCI) By Using SMAW: Applications In Reinforced Composites And Thermoplastics Through Taguchi & GRA

  By Aamir R. Sayed, Devesh Kumar

  Abstract: Welding, a critical manufacturing process, is broadly engaged to join metals and thermoplastics using heat, pressure, or both. This study inspects the Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW) method to optimize welding parameters and improve the mechanical properties of Ductile Cast Iron (DCI) grade 500/7, a material widely used in high-strength and thermal conductivity applications in aerospace and automotive sectors. Using an L9 OA (orthogonal array), experiments were conducted on nine …
