Popis: Optimization of welding processes is not a trivial task, mainly due to the great number of required and desirable characteristics that must be analysed. Moreover, the optimization of a welding process with multiple characteristics without considering the variance–covariance structure may lead to inadequate optimum. To help with this task, a method of multi-objective optimization based on the multivariate mean square error applied in the study of multiple correlated characteristics of a flux-cored arc welding process is presented. This method characterized by a combined approach based on the response surface methodology, design of experiments, and principal components analysis consisted of an attempt to achieve the nearest values to specific targets, for each characteristic (penetration, deposition rate, deposition efficiency, convexity index of the weld bead, and dilution), considering the welding variables expressed as a result of welding voltage (V), wire feed speed (Va), and contact tip to workpiece di...
