SELECTING OF THE MOST SUITABLE NON-CONVENTIONAL WELDING PROCESS: A STUDY CASE

Abstract

In recent years, non-conventional welding processes have gained significant traction across various industries due to their unique advantages. However, selecting the most appropriate welding method for a specific application remains a complex and challenging task. This complexity arises from the need to consider numerous criteria that often conflict with one another, making the decision-making process intricate. This study addresses this challenge by employing the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) methodology to evaluate and determine the most suitable non-conventional welding process for a particular case study. The findings of this research provide valuable insights and practical guidance that can be directly applied to various industrial applications, facilitating more informed and effective process selection.
