Abstract
Analysis of the Material of Metal Inert Gas (MIG) welding with improved mechanical properties, i.e., mild steel, to ascertain whether it is well-suited for the production of air compressors. The study entails proper selection of material and welding wire to attain maximum weld quality and mechanical strength. Mild steel was selected because it has good weldability, is inexpensive, and has mechanical properties that are ideal for industrial use. The welding wire was chosen to match the base material and improve joint strength. To determine the performance of the welded joints, several tests were carried out, such as tensile, bend, and radiographic tests. The tensile test was used to measure the strength and load-carrying capacity of the weld, while the bend test was used to test its ductility and resistance to cracking. Radiographic testing was also carried out to detect any internal defects like porosity or inclusions. The findings proved that MIG-welded mild steel, when welded in controlled conditions, has high strength, good ductility, and low internal defects, thus being a safe option for air compressor production. The research proves the significance of welding parameter optimization to improve mechanical properties, ensuring durability and efficiency in industrial use.
