Welding is a way of heating pieces of metal usingelectricity or flame so that they melt and stick together. There aremany kinds of welding processes, such as, for instance, MIG/MAGand MMA welding. However, such welding schemes require moreelectrodes during the process of welding. Hence, this paper intendsto analyse the alternative tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding tech-nology using Response Surface Methodology (RSM), and to identifythe effect of TIG welding process parameters on the weld bead pro-file of 15CDV6 high strength low alloy (HSLA) steel. Moreover, themethodology applied allows for identification of the optimal weld-ing conditions by means of multi-objective optimization using RSMto increase the depth of penetration (DOP) and reduce BW (beadwidth) and heat-affected zone (HAZ) width. The variables takenfor the model-based investigations are: welding current (Wc), torchspeed (Ts), gas flow rate (Gr), torch angle (Ta) and arc gap (Ag).Moreover, the responses taken are DOP, BW and HAZ width. Fur-ther, the results from the proposed model optimisation can be seenas highly beneficial for the rocket-motor hardware program, indus-tries and fabrication of pressure vessels, which are using 15CDV6steel.
