This study by Mishra, P et al. focuses on the optimization of weld seam properties using Electron Beam Welding (EBW). EBW is considered one of the most precise welding techniques, as it creates a small Heat-Affected Zone (HAZ) by focusing on the weld area with a high depth-to-width ratio.

Research Scope:

The study optimizes parameters such as weld depth and geometry on Nimark 300 maraging steel, commonly used in aerospace sensing applications.

Optimization Tools:

• The study uses the Taguchi optimization tool to determine weld depth and geometry.
• Further analysis is performed using ANOVA (Analysis of Variance).
• Mathematical modeling results are compared with theoretical predictions to validate the findings.

Results:

• Maximum Weld Depth: 50 kV, 6 mA current, 300 mm/min welding speed.
• Maximum Seam Width: 60 kV, 6 mA current, 600 mm/min welding speed.

This study successfully demonstrates the optimization of machine parameters to enhance weld quality, and the alignment of theoretical results with experimental data.
