Abstract
The construction and industrial sectors must improve the quality of their welds. An experimental plate fabricated of SS304L was to be tungsten inert gas (TIG) welded in this experiment, and an effort was made to enhance the mechanical properties. The Taguchi L9 orthogonal array was used to organize the experiment, and the mechanism of advancement was used to simulate the performance. The tensile strength of the welded junction rises in proportion to the amount of current that is sent through it. Here, Taguchi and flux must enhance the welding process while also studying and enhancing numerous welding factors. We can get better results and save time, which lowers the cost of the work at some level, which is favored most, by utilizing suitable welding parameters and some additional chemical flux when welding. We considered critical process factors such as current, speed, and gas flow rate for welding operations. According to the findings, the TIG welding settings of current of 175 A, speed of 6.66 mm/s, and gas flow rate of 15 L/s provide greater fluidity and improved strength.
