Part of the book series: Management and Industrial Engineering ((MINEN))

Abstract

Submerged Arc Welding (SAW) process has tremendous applications in industrial sectors. The quality of weld joint depends on optimal process parameters. This chapter presents the optimization study for materials with application in valves. Input parameters are voltage, current, and speed of welding; output parameters are penetration and bead width. Taguchi L9 orthogonal array has been constructed. Signal-to-noise ratio and ANOVA have been used to analyze welding characteristics so as to generate optimal welding parameters. Also, confirmation analyzis has been done.
