Welding Order and Welding Penetration Levels’ Impact on Product Life Cycle For GMAW

Abstract

Gas metal arc welding is a high-speed, economical process that is also called as "metal inert gas welding" or "metal active gas welding" which are sub-types of gas metal arc welding. This method is used for different parts' productions in many industries. 
 In this paper, we will be focusing on automotive applications of this process and the impact of the parameters of this production method on the durability performance of the axle component of a vehicle. 
 Experiments have been conducted on the axles that have been produced in serial life production conditions and have been checked under real life road load conditions to determine their performance levels.
