One of the most often utilized joining techniques in the manufacturing and construction sectors is MAG welding. The process is characterized by high welding speed, good quality welds, and the ability to weld any material for which filler is readily accessible. The process is versatile as it can be used in all position welding applications. Rapid cycles involving heating and cooling in arc welding processes result in the development of thermal stresses giving rise to several kinds of distortions, the most important of which is angular distortion. This angular distortion is totally undesirable as it may lead to the rejection of the weldment. Therefore, there should be every attempt to keep this to the minimum. The current study attempts to relate the angular distortion using the following input parameters: nozzle to plate distance [NPD], welding speed, wire feed rate [WFR], voltage, and torch angle. To determine a correlation between these input parameters and the angular distortion, a mathematical model has been generated to estimate the magnitude of resulting angular distortion at a particular collection of input parameters so that necessary preventive measures can be taken. The optimum values of the input parameters giving minimum angular distortion have been found out using a statistical technique called design of experiments.
