International Journal of Manufacturing Research (IJMR), Vol. 2, No. 4, 2007

Abstract: The optimal-pulsed current, tungsten inert gas-welding process parameters for obtaining minimum grain size and corrosion rate were investigated. The quality characteristics, grain size and hardness were considered together in the selection of process parameters by the modified Taguchi method to analyse the effect of process parameters on grain size and corrosion rate. Experimental results are furnished to illustrate the approach. The multiple responses have lower-the-better quality characteristic.
