This paper presents a methodology for optimising pulsed gas metal arc welding parameters on Stainless Steel GRADE 410. Most sectors favour the economic welding technique for its favourable outcomes, such as enhanced strength and reduced corrosion. Compared to conventional welding methods, pulsed gas metal arc welding has the advantage of reducing current consumption and increasing the rate at which metal is deposited. An optimisation technique is employed to forecast the weld bead's accurate geometry, penetration depth, and reinforcement height, considering the welding input parameters such as welding speed, current rate, and frequency level. The Taguchi technique uses experimental analysis by considering input and output parameters. A multiple regression analysis model has been developed for SS Grade 410 Stainless steel to determine the bead geometry's correctness.
