Cold Metal Transfer welding (CMT) was used to join SS304L plates by means of SS308L MIG wire. The effects of current, distance between nozzle and tip, welding speed on strength, hardness and surface roughness of welded zone in the CMT process by means of response surface methodology were studied in this work. The outcomes show that Current is having significant effect on the outputs. Also current interacting with weld speed is showing it’s mark on the output variables like tensile strength, hardness and surface roughness. Finally optimal results are found and the experimental values are in coincidence with the predicted values.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
