MIG welding (metal inert gas welding) is an arc welding technology that generates metal coalescences by heating them with an arc between a filler metallic electrode that is constantly fed, and the work. MIG welding process lends itself to semiautomatic, robotic automation and difficult automation welding packages. The alloy fabric variety for GMAW consists of carbon steel, chrome steel, aluminium (Al), magnesium (Mg), copper (Cu), nickel (Ni), and silicon bronze. This experimental study aims at optimization of the wire feed rate during MIG weld of aluminium sheets by developing the mathematically model for the tensile strength a hardness of the aluminium specimen. In this experiment Factorial design approach has been implemented for locating connection among diverse procedure parameters and weld deposit reason. MIG Welding of aluminium alloy 6063 with Al 4043 Wire and Argon gas shielding yields excellent results.
