Whenever welding procedures are executed, under the influence of heat the grains of material which are close to the weld pool may experience vibration or let's say disturbance of particles and that results in changes in the size of the grains which may eventually alter properties of the material. In this study, the Taguchi method was used to optimize and build relationships between the input parameters and depth of penetration for GTAW of 202 grade stainless steel plates. A mathematical model is also developed to correlate the process parameters like welding current (I), welding speed (V), and shielding gas flow rate (Q) to depth of penetration. The developed model then compares with the result: it is supposed to be found that the deviation falls within the limit of 90% confidence level. Additionally the results obtained also by implementing various testing processes like Micro hardness and Microstructure testing, Magnetic barkhausen noise test etc. and Wire EDM is used in order to cut out the material in desired dimension without forming heat affected zone(HAZ).

Keywords
