Optimization of mig welding process parameters on mechanical properties of Al-MS-SS materials

Applications of welding process in the industry mostly involve the resistance of an object to resist the force applied. As such, the tensile strength and hardness of welding must be considered. The Metal Inert Gas welding is used to joint two plates of Aluminum, Mild Steel and Stainless Steel in bu...
