1. INTRODUCTION
Welding is a process of joining metal parts or we can say it
is fabrication process, in which by heating the surfaces of
the workpiece with the help of arc (may be mechanical or
electrical) or by other means and uniting them by
hammering or pressing, etc. We know that MIG welding is
one of most versatile technique till now in modern
production technology and most importantly, it is suitable
for both either for thin sheet or thick section components.
Basically, in this process, an electric arc is produced
between the consumable wire electrode and the workpiece,
due to this heat workpiece metal melts and join. Now in
order to protect weld pool from contamination from the
atmosphere, i.e. Moisture or oxygen, we are using inert
gasses like argon, helium or a mixture of argon-heliumor by
a mixture of argon-carbon dioxide. While compared to other
welding process in this method we are not providing any
external filler metal because the wire electrode provides the
arc as well act as a filler metal [1]. Now in this experiment
we are using mild steel, so basically mild steel means which
contain only a small percentage of carbon and also it is
strongest and most important it is not easily tempered or
hardened. As we know that using high carbon steel it is very
difficult to weld, as mild steel is easy to weld and most
important fact that most of the people are not aware of this
fact that certain types of high carbon steel, for example,
stainless steel and special technique are used for welding
due to that reason that, it is less brittle than high carbon
steels. The mild steel is more flexible than other steel [6].
We all know about that MIG welding, widely used in most
of the industry sectors due to its flexibility, deposition rates,
and suitability. So, in this era, determination of optimum
values of process parameters in the manufacturing industry
are the area of greatest interest for either for manufacturing
engineers or researchers. Most importantly, this process
parameter plays a vital role in determining the quality of a
welded joint. There are various parameters will affect the
welding because this parameter varied over a large extend.
Since they are considered as the primary adjustments i.e.
tool in any welding process. We all knew that the depth of
penetration is the most dominant magnitude related to the
weldability of the processes material, the welding
conditions, and the strength requirements. Therefore, we
have to attempt in such a way that the depth of penetration
should be maximized. The most important thing that
penetration is indirectly proportional to welding speed and
electrode diameter and penetration decreases with the
increase in the welding speed because the time during which
the arc force is allowed to penetrate into the material’s, thus
surface decreases [20]. So, the demand for producing joints
of dissimilar materials is continuously increasing due to cost
reduction and also good mechanical properties. As we
discuss earlier that it is extensively used in manufacturing
industries due to its simple technique and very easy to learn
and use, so welding defects can be minimized easily, as this
process, there is no slag and machine can run by automatic
or semi-automatic, so less skilled worker can easily
complete his task easily, metal deposition rates are high and
a lot more advantage than other forms of welding. Their
application such as aluminum, copper, stainless steel and
carbon steel can be joined with the help of MIG welding via
suitable electrode, shielding gas and different welding
conditions [3-5].
The present work mainly focuses on the weldability of
ASTM A29 with the process of MIG welding. The work
details of process parameters (welding voltage, welding
current and wire speed) influence on the response (Tensile
strength and Hardness) by using analysis of variance
(ANOVA) with the help of Taguchi array [L9].

4. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
Fig. 3 predict the various steps in the Taguchi analysis [19].
Analysis of variance (ANOVA) is a statistical tool used to
analyze the S/N ratios. We also know that the term “signal”
represents the desirable mean value, and the “noise”-
undesirable value. Hence, we can say that S/N ratio show
the amount of variation, which is presented in the
performance characteristics.
Fig-3: Steps of Taguchi’s Analysis
4.1 ANOVA of Tensile Strength
In this experiment, Tensile strength is calculated
experimentally and Taguchi method is used for the analysis
with the help of ANOVA (L9). According to data are found,
we get a graph of the signal-to-noise (S/N) ratio is shown in
Fig-4. The calculated S/N ratio is shown in Table 4.

strength for S/N ratio
The ANOVA is one of the most widely used methods for
portioning variability into an identifiable source of variation
and the associated DOF in an experiment. F-test for analyze
the significant effects of the process parameters, which form
quality characteristics. In Table-5 show, the result of
ANOVA analysis of S/N ratio of low carbon steel ASTM

as 96.3 and 85.2%.
The ANOVA revealed the influence of process parameters
with a response. Welding current (A) is the most influencing
parameter (57.25%) and followed by the welding voltage
(V) as (29.05%) and wire speed as 10%. The influence of
parameters such as voltage, current, and wire speed was
analyzed on table-6. It is observed that the process
parameters with the greater S/N ratio will have optimum
quality with less variance.

From the response tables, the optimal condition for Tensile
strength as the welding current (A3) is a dominant parameter
on the tested specimens, followed by welding voltage (V1)
and wire speed (S1). The ranking of the parameters is shown
in Table 6. This refers the optimal condition of Tensile

From Fig. 5 it was observed that the welding voltage (20
volts), welding current (215 amp), and wire speed (2.2)
gives an optimal Hardness. We know that the S/N ratio for
each parameter was determined by averaging the S/N ratios
at the corresponding level. The effect of parameters such as
welding voltage, welding current, and wire speed was
analyzed on Table-4. It is observed that the process
parameters with the greatest S/N ratio have optimum quality
with less variance.
The ANOVA obtained R2
and Radj

as 99.3 and 97.2%. The
ANOVA revealed the influence of process parameters with
a response. Welding current (A) is the most influencing
parameter (48.14%) and followed by the welding voltage
(V) as (34.78%) and wire speed as 16.12%.

From response table, we can predict that the wire speed is a
dominant parameter on the tested specimens, followed by
welding voltage and welding current. The ranking of the
parameters is shown in Table 8. From the response tables,
the optimal condition for Tensile strength as the welding
current (A2) is a dominant parameter on the tested
specimens, followed by welding voltage (V1) and wire
speed (S1). This refers the optimal condition of the
Hardness as V1A2S1.

4.3 Multiple Linear Regression Models:
Multiple linear regression equations were developing a
relation between the process variables and response. The
value of regression coefficient R2
(0.963) is in good
agreement with the adjusted R2
(0.852) for the Tensile
strength of the ASTM A29. R2
(0.993) is in good agreement
with the adjusted R2
(0.972) for the Hardness of the ASTM
A29. Considering that both values are close to unity, this
model gives a good result between the independent
parameters and responses.
The regression equation developed for the surface roughness
of the Tensile strength is as follows:
TS = 696 + 10.7 v - 3.05 A + 34.7 S ----- (1)
The regression equation developed for the Hardness of
ASTM A29 is as follows:
HS = 276 + 6.62 v - 1.47 A + 28.1 S ---- (2)
We can predict from Equations. (1) & (2) that the Welding
Current (A) plays a greater role on Tensile and Hardness,
followed by welding voltage (V) and wire speed (S). The
coefficient associated with welding current (A) is negative,
thus indicating that the Tensile and hardness as decreases
with increasing welding current. Conversely, the Tensile and
hardness increase with increasing welding voltage and wire
speed because the coefficients of these factors are positive.
Wire speed has a greater effect on Tensile and hardness as
compared with other parameters according to its coefficient
value in the welding of MIG.
4.4 Confirmation Test
The confirmation test is the last step in the experiment. The
confirmation test is shown in Table 9.

5. CONCLUSIONS
The investigation results show that
1. The Welding Current has the greatest influence on
Tensile and Hardness in the Weldability of ASTM A29
followed by welding voltage and wire speed.
2. The optimal conditional for Tensile strength as the
welding current (250) is a dominant parameter on the
tested specimens, followed by welding voltage (20) and
wire speed (2.2).
3. The optimal condition of Hardness, such as the welding
voltage (20 volts), welding current (215 amp), and wire
speed (2.2) can be used to achieve better hardness in
ASTM A29.
