The present article discusses the simulation and mathematical modelling of GTAW for various parameters of single and double V-groove butt joint welds. The chosen materials are EN 10025steel(grade S295) and D36 ship building steel, owing to their wide industrial applications and corrosion resistive nature. The simulation modelling was carried out at 90°, 60°, 45° and 30° groove angles for both similar and dissimilar base metals to predict the deformation, residual stress distribution, heat flux, and nodal temperature using ABAQUS software package. A subsequent mathematical model was developed using MATLAB tool to further predict the temperature distribution and total stress concentration at any localized nodal point. The model can be used to obtain optimal weld parameters such as weld, speed torch temperature, current and voltage. The obtained results were plotted to attain the clear conclusion over the results. The results under simulation showed 45° to be the most effective angle for both Single-V and Double-V grooved butt joints.
Argon arc welding is a frequently used process, to assist various manufacturing processes. The paper highlights the postweld experimental results of similar (EN 10025 Steel-Grade S295) and dissimilar (D36 shipbuilding steel) materials, which possess a wide range of applications in manufacturing industries. In this work, experimental studies are carried out for optimality of gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW) parameters on a butt joint with single and double V 45° groove angles using Taguchi orthogonal L9 array design. The welding is carried out using the back hand technique, and the filler rod is taken as ER303L to obtain finer welded joints. After the weld, residual stresses, microhardness, and geometrical properties of weld are studied at varied zones, that is, weld zone, HAZ, and base metal to examine the weld efficiency with specific predefined weld parameters. Furthermore, tensile tests are carried out for the weldments with optimal predefined weld parameters, and subsequently, the welded specimens with better tensile strength are discussed in the results. Genetic algorithm and mathematical modelling are opted for selecting the final optimal welding parameters. As per the obtained results of residual stresses, hardness, and tensile tests, dissimilar double V groove butt joint is projected to have more effective weld joint.
Machining is the most significant process for any manufacturing company to improve the quality of the finished component. The objective of this article is to analyse the process performance of Hastelloy C-276 using PVD (Physical Vapour Deposition) coated, uncoated and alumina-based ceramic tool inserts of high grade quality. Turning process was performed on NC (Numerical Control) machine by varying RPM, feed rate and depth of cut based on the Taguchi L9 orthogonal array approach. In this study, crank wear, flank wear, nose wear, SR (Surface Roughness), MRR (Material Removal Rate), tool temperature and feed force are examined during machining of hardened material and simultaneously static structural analysis of the tool insert along with the tool holder was performed using ANSYS mechanical. This research investigation helps in determining appropriate parameters with varied coated inserts to make the process easier, efficient and economical.
