Abstract : Milieu impact on the metal results in the formation of its stable compounds. The process of refining the corrosion impervious properties by depositing copious covers of materials over carbon steel is accomplished by weld cladding. The prominence of weld cladding is skewed towards the choice of parameter arrays of welding inputs. This paper addresses the influence of modeling parameters in Flux Cored Arc Welding process using set of experimental data and multiple regression analysis. The impact of input process variables like wire feed rate, welding speed, nozzle-to-plate distance and weld gun angle, each having five levels over the output characteristics such as weld bead width, height of reinforcement and depth of penetration were studied using regression modeling. In this paper, the enhanced parameter models were examined for their adequacy. The results confirm that the models can predict the weld bead geometry with reasonable accuracy.
