The main aim of this study is to determine the best process parameters for the robotized Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW) of LNE 700 advanced high-strength steel. This article evaluates some quality criteria such as the microhardness, the heat-affected zone (HAZ) and the convexity in the welded joints. The assays are performed using an experimental design, based on the Taguchi method. The analysis of the results identified some factors of greatest influence and how best to combine them to determine an optimum condition for welding LNE 700 high strength steel. Moreover, the influence of welding parameters on quality criteria is determined.
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.
