Abstract

The transferability of aluminum GMAW parameters was assessed using statistical analyses which found binary correlation coefficients between the independent/dependent parameters of the welding system. The parameters have been arranged descendently according to their relative importance based on the values of correlation coefficients. The descending order of  the independent parameters was used to perform a significant multiple-regression with the dependent parameters. The multiple correlation coefficients obtained by this method are very close to unity.
