Taguchi Method & Fuzzy Logic Parametric Augmenting & Supplementing of MIG Welding On 304 AISI Stainless Steel

  N. Hyma Vathi,  R. Vijaya Prakash

This paper deals with Optimization of Metal Inert Gas (MIG) welding with Taguchi method& Fuzzy logic parametric augmenting & supplementing. Experimental investigations are carried-out to find Tensile strength and Percentage elongation during the universal testing machine and Hardness during the Brinell hardness test using welding joint 304 AISI Stainless Steel work piece. To optimize the welding process parameters for effective welding joint of the work piece, a powerful tool, known as Design of Experiments (DOE) for experimental design is used. Considering the Welding voltage, Welding current and welding speed the experimental work has been conducted and shown, and found the performance characteristics such as Tensile strength, Percentage elongation and Hardness. The Taguchi Method was also used for DOE and considered L27 orthogonal array matrix and Signal-to-Noise (S/N) Ratio, the tensile strength, percentage of elongation, and hardness of the predicted values have been creditably acquired via Fuzzy representation.

Keywords- AISI 304 SS, MIG welding, DOE, Tensile Strength, Percentage of elongation, Hardness, Fuzzy logic
