In today's industrial sector, productivity and quality are crucial factors. Today's manufacturing industries face intense competition on the global market, making producing higher-quality goods at lower costs and with more productivity their primary goals. The most important and frequent procedure used to unite different elements is welding. The goal of the current research is to better understand different welding methods and identify the optimal method for steel. A lot of attention has been paid to FCAW-MIG welding. The second input parameter value in this experiment, 160 amps at -18 volts and a gas pressure of 4 bar, is really the optimum value, which is practically discovered. The Taguchi design and optimized parameters state that 160 amps of current, 22 volts of voltage, and 3 bar of gas pressure will yield the highest tensile strength for the 6 mm OHNS steel. Tensile strength is majorly influenced with gas pressure of the FCAW process found through ANNOVA. Alongside, the characteristics of hardness, corrosion, wear behavior and penetrant test (NDT) have been conducted to determine the FCAW performance.
