PERFOMANCE OF ACTIVATED FLUX ASSISTED TIG PROCESS BY ANN ON SS316 MATERIAL
Gas tungsten arc welding has wide variety of application in industries due to advantages like high reliability, low cost, higher production rate. Activating flux is a concept, which is used in different welding process like GTAW, EBW and PAW. The flux ingredient which is inorganic compound (which can be used to produce deep penetration and are constriction) In the present work, at attempt has been made to use of activated Flux for improving depth to width ratio as well strength of the weld joint in thicker job requirement need for improving deep penetration in minimum pass and using ANN optimization technique getting best set of process parameter.
