A REVIEW PAPER ON ANALYSIS ON THE EFFECT OF WELDING PARAMETERS ON THE STRENGTH OF WELD USING GTAW PROCESS

In today’s manufacturing industry, welding is crucial. Although many welding techniques have been developed, gas tungsten arc welding has dominated this market because it employs shielded gas, which has drawn the interest of numerous industries. Since there is no slag produced by the GTAW method, it not only results in a clean welded joint but also frees the welders from cleaning. The GTAW welding method is typically used to join the butt, lap, corners, edges, and T-joints. Carbon and alloy steels, stainless steels, refractory metals, copper alloys, aluminium alloys, magnesium alloys, nickel alloys, heat-resistant alloys, etc. can all be welded using GTAW. Despite having such a broad range of uses, its performance is dependent on a few factors to produce the desired level of welded joint quality. These parameters include the heat-affected zone, the voltage that is provided, the heat input, the speed, the filler material, the shielded gas, the material thickness, etc. In this research, we seek to understand how the GTAW process’s speed affects the strength of the welded joint. By carrying out this study, we can learn how changing the speed can affect the joint’s mechanical characteristics, as well as its strength and the most effective velocity for a successful finish.
