Analyzing the Parameters of SS 304 using TIG Welding

Over the years the lifespan of many machines have been reduced or have not matched its estimated lifespan due to poor joints and the materials have not adapted to the working conditions. The poor joints may be due to the improper fasteners or due to the improper welding joints. The improper welding methods may be due to the welding method that may not be suitable for the working environment or may not be apt for the material that is used in the machine. Our project deals with studying and analyzing the properties of TIG welded SS 304 specimen by conducting various tests. SS 304 is the most commonly used metal in food processing machines because of its high corrosion resistance. But a slight drawback is that the machines that use SS 304 fail due to its poor fail welding joints. Hence this project deals with finding out whether the TIG welded SS 304 joint can withstand extreme conditions and various tests performed on it.
