Purpose: of this research paper is to select optimal welding condition for a root-pass welding for pipeline and to provide a best process for desirable welding quality. Design/methodology/approach: In this study, a variety of welding experiments were carried out to optimize an automated welding process using a GMA (Gas Metal Arc) process, these has been applied for root-pass welding. Welding current, welding speed, wire feed speed and torch angle were chosen as input parameters, while back-bead geometry representing quality of root-pass welding as output parameter. Findings: Based on the results from welding experiments, optimal welding conditions were selected after analyzing correlation between welding parameters and back-bead geometry such as back-bead width and back-bead height. Moreover, not only effectiveness of empirical models developed was compared and analyzed. The optimized empirical models were finally developed for predicting back-bead geometry by analyzing the main effect of each factor and their influence on interaction. Research limitations/implications: This research was concentrated on the developed empirical models that can predict back-bead width and height for root-pass welding in pipeline. Originality/value: This study is intended to define correlations between process parameters and back-bead geometry as welding quality and eventually select optimal welding condition by performing root-pass welding experiment under various conditions.
