Materials and parameters for conventional arc welding with the welding torch in vertical (PA) position are well known and investigated. However, apart from the ideal PA-position, not much is known about a deposition in so called ‘forced’ positions. This is becoming increasingly important in the case of particularly large components, as these can efficiently neither be clamped nor moved on a rotating and tilting table. More flexibility is achieved when the welding gun is moved as a tool on curvilinear paths to build up complex parts without necessary part movement. This link to the component surface means to leave the ideal vertical position. To make that possible, optimal parameters must be found for each angular position to enable high-quality and reliable build-up welding. In this work, a fuzzy logic-based system is designed based on set of experiments in single and double-layer weld beads structure using mild steel wire to predict the bead widths and heights for three different positions (Horizontal, Rising, and Falling torch movement). A comparison between the fuzzy and experimental values is studied. The averages of width mean error between experimental and fuzzy logic model values for the three positions were (1.3%) and (0.85%) for the single and double-layer weld beads, respectively. Averages of width mean error for the bead heights were (0.97%) and (0.73%) for the two structures. The current proposed study demonstrates a good agreement between the predicted fuzzy values and the experimental outcomes for the bead width and height.
