It is a technique that enhances the service performance of welded joints using different gas flow rate values so as to have comparison between the joints made. To avoid weld burn-through, excessive heat input and too high welding current must be regulated at a GTAW process so as to control welding current and achieve a sufficient heat input that will prevent weld burn-through and produce quality welds free from spatter. During welding, escape of gas when prevented, will produce clean joints, slow cooling (allows gases to escape) and proper shielding (absorbing the gases C02 , N2 and H2 from the atmosphere). This paper investigates burn-through prevention in welds produced, using Genetic Algorithm (GA) for optimization using genealogy plots to study the influence of Gas Flow Rate (F) ,welding current and heat input ratio on burn-through in welds. Genetic Algorithm was used for optimization in order to reach optimal solution after satisfying constraints used. In order to alleviate the problem that burn -through defect poses on welds, a matrix design was developed to determine the experimental results obtained and the results were applied to the GA model for optimization in order to obtain optimal values of responses as well as optimal values of input process parameters. Genealogy plots were used to validate the model. The genetic algorithm optimization results showed that the gas flow rate should be set to 17.67 lit/min for optimum input process parameter value. Heat input ratio optimal values of 21.96KJ/min and welding current optimal value set at 167.3 amperes were established.
