Optimization of Process Parameters Using Surface Response Methodology for Laser Welding of Titanium Alloy

Article Preview

Abstract:

Laser beam welding input conditions are greatly influence the quality of the welded joints and they have significant role on the controlling of their strength and metallurgical properties. The metallurgical properties and weld bead geometry and mechanical properties of the joints determine the quality of the joints. In this study, the fusion zone width, penetration, width of the heat affected zone and strength of the titanium alloy welds were investigated using laser welding process. The surface response methodology design is carried out for the experimental design by the development of regression equations. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to check the validity of the model. In order to identify the significant parameters, student’s test is conducted. The obtained results from response surface methodology were compared with the experimental results and validated.
