Optimization of Mild Steel Welding Process Parameters Using Multivariate Linear Regression

William E. Odinikuku, David Atadious & Ikechukwu P. Onwuamaeze · Journal of Engineering Research and Reports · 2020

Local welders in Nigeria are prone to poor quality weldment because of their lack of welding technical skills. When these local welders carry out their welding operation, the welded joints are considered to be good enough because the metal materials welded together are seen to be...
