摘要：

This research article exhibits experimental and numerical results of TIG welding of AA6061. TIG welding process parameters like gas flow rate, welding current and welding speed was optimized using the Taguchi technique for joining AA6061 plates. The combinations of parameters were carefully selected with the objective of producing weld joint with maximum impact strength. Experimental tests were performed with four levels of parameters according to L-16 orthogonal array. Signal-to-noise (SN) ratio and ANOVA were used to evaluate the experimental results. The results indicate that the gas flow rate is the significant parameter on impact strength of weld joints, followed by welding speed and welding current. (C) 2018 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
