Abstract
Resistance spot welding (RSW) quality is mainly depends upon the parameters and their levels selected, like welding current, electrode force and welding time etc. So selection of optimal parameter levels plays an important role. Therefore, optimization of weld tensile strength and nugget diameter is selected for study. In this paper, use of Taguchi with Grey relational analysis (GRA) method to determine significant process parameters and their levels for optimal tensile shear strength (T-S) and nugget diameter (N-D) is reported. Taguchi based L27 (33) orthogonal array is selected for experimentation. Experiments are carried out on Stainless Steel 304. The level of importance of the welding parameters on the tensile shear strength and nugget diameter is determined by using analysis of variance (ANOVA) using Minitab 16 software. To improve the spot weld quality (i.e. T-S and N-D) multi objective process parameter optimization is performed using grey relational analysis.

Important Announcements


All the authors, conference coordinators, conveners, and guest editors kindly check their articles' originality before submitting them to IJCERT. If any material is found to be duplicate submission or sent to other journals when the content is in the process with IJCERT, fabricated data, cut and paste (plagiarized), at any stage of processing of material, IJCERT is bound to take the following actions.
1. Rejection of the article.
2. The author will be blocked for future communication with IJCERT if duplicate articles are submitted.
3. A letter regarding this will be posted to the Principal/Director of the Institution where the study was conducted.
4. A List of blacklisted authors will be shared among the Chief Editors of other prestigious Journals
We have been screening articles for plagiarism with a world-renowned tool: Turnitin However, it is only rejected if found plagiarized. This more stern action is being taken because of the illegal behavior of a handful of authors who have been involved in ethical misconduct. The Screening and making a decision on such articles costs colossal time and resources for the journal. It directly delays the process of genuine materials.
