Modelling of Gas Metal Arc Welding process on angular distortion of T joint

Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW) is one of the widely used joining technologies in metal fabrication. The quality of a joint is greatly influenced by the selection of GMAW process parameter settings. One of the quality issues faced in welding is angular distortion. This research focused on angular disto...
