Abstract

Martensitic stainless steels are hard, brittle and notch sensitive; crack formation during welding is frequent. Selection of the levels of welding parameters i.e. the input variables seems to be important and useful in the context of achieving optimum/maximum strength of the welded joint. In the present work, focus is given on identification of the proper combination of input parameters in TIG welding of martensitic stainless steel AISI 420. Welding current, gas flow rate and welding speed have been taken as input parameters. Ultimate tensile strength (UTS) and Ductility or Elongation of the welded joint obtained from tensile test is taken as response parameter. Initially, response surface methodology based face-centered central composite design has been used for mathematical model building and regression analysis. Next, several recently proposed metaheuristics are applied for parametric optimization of TIG welding process to maximize the response parameters. From, the simulated results, a critical operating region for efficient TIG welding is identified in term of maximum UTS and Ductility. Confirmatory tests are also performed to validate our proposed methodology.
