Analysis of Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) Welding Process Parameters for Improved Weld Quality and Efficiency

Abstract

Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) welding is a versatile joining process widely used in various industries due to its ability to produce high-quality welds with excellent mechanical properties. However, achieving optimal weld quality and efficiency requires a thorough understanding of the welding process parameters and their effects on the final weld characteristics. This paper presents a comprehensive analysis of TIG welding process parameters, including welding current, arc voltage, welding speed, shielding gas composition, and electrode material, among others. The effects of these parameters on weld penetration, bead shape, microstructure, and mechanical properties are investigated through experimental studies and theoretical analysis. Furthermore, optimization techniques such as Taguchi methods and response surface methodology are employed to identify the optimal parameter settings for specific welding applications. The insights gained from this analysis can help enhance the performance and reliability of TIG welding processes in various industrial applications.
