Abstract: 
Parameter optimization is the active subject of research, and in this current work the ferrite number and gas tungsten arc (GTA) welding SS. Filler material. Models have been developed by welding SD316L slab with NiTinol wire (shape memory alloy) as a filler material by conducting experiments using three-factor, three level factorial designs. Tests have been conducted for various models at UTM and the results are scheduled. The final models were upgraded using the design expert method. It can be seen from the investigation that the interactive effect of the process parameters has a significant effect on the tensile strength and the ferrite number.
