A two-Level half fractional design is used to investigate and quantify the direct and interaction effects of four process parameters on weld bead penetration in SAW of mild steel.
Wire feed rate, open circuit voltage, welding speed and plate thickness were taken as the welding parameters to investigate the main and interaction effect on the weld bead penetration. The analysis indicated that of the four parameters investigated, only wire feed rate had the statistically significant main effect on weld penetration. It was also observed that wire feed rate & welding speed and open circuit voltage & plate thickness interact to affect the weld penetration. A model has been proposed for predicting the weld penetration. The adequacy of the model was tested by the use of analysis of variance technique and the significance of the coefficients was tested by the student’s ‘t’ test. The estimated and observed values of the bead penetration have been compared in a scatter diagram. The main and interaction effects of different parameters involved have been presented in graphical form.

Low alloyed steels are widely employed in the agricultural, transport and metal processing industries and are often treated to improve surface wear resistant properties. In this study, the surface of plain carbon steel is melted using a metal arc heat source and the surfaces are simultaneously alloyed using a metallic powder and nitrogen gas. This process is novel in that the nitrogen gas carries metallic powder through the electrode and into the plasma created between the tip of the electrode and substrate surface. The changes in wear characteristics of the modified surfaces are monitored using a pin-on-plate wear testing machine and micro-indentation hardness measurements as a function of depth from the surface. Preliminary results indicate a significant increase in wear resistance for surfaces alloyed with nitrogen and chromium powder compared to the untreated surfaces. These changes in wear properties are explained through changes in micro structural features within the solidified surface.Keywords

A relationship between welding current and various welding parameters has been proposed. The relationship can be used to predict welding current and melting rates in submerged arc welding process. Two-level half-fractional factorial design was used to investigate and quantify the direct and interaction effects of four process parameters on welding current in SAW of mild steel.
Wire feed rate, open circuit voltage, welding speed and plate thickness were taken as the welding parameters to investigate the main and interaction effects on the welding current. A model has been proposed for predicting the welding current in submerged arc welding. The adequacy of the model was tested by the use of analysis of variance technique and the significance of the coefficients was tested by the student’s ‘t’ test. The estimated and observed values of the weakling current have been compared through a scatter diagram. The main and interaction effects of different parameters involved have been presented in graphical form.
