Abstract

Though many optimization methods have been developed, there is a lack of comparative study regarding the performance of those methods. This paper demonstrates the adequacy as well as the simplicity of the Taguchi method on the selection of optimum process parameters of the MIG welding as well as the TIG welding of pure aluminum by comparing the grey rational analysis results of Joshi and his co-workers. ANOVA results are utilized to identify the optimum weld process parameters (viz. welding current, gas flow and wire feed rate) and estimated the possible optimum ultimate tensile strength of the aluminum weld joint, by means of additive law. The estimates are found to be reasonably in good agreement with test results, when compared to those from the empirical relations of Joshi and his co-workers.
