Abstract

Among the arc welding processes, gas metal arc welding (GMAW) is a popular process to the present-day fabrication industries. Controlling process parameters of GMAW is very important to obtain the desired product quality. In the present work, parametric optimization has been done in GMAW using CO2 gas through applying the analytical hierarchy process (AHP). This technique shows quite close estimates with the experimental results.
