welding: Data: Tensile Strength of Welds

Description

This is a highly fractionated two-level factorial design employed as a screening design in an off-line welding experiment performed by the National Railway Corporation of Japan. There were 16 runs and 9 experimental factors. The response variable is the observed tensile strength of the weld, one of several quality characteristics measured. All other variables are at plus and minus levels.

Usage

Arguments

format

A data frame containing the following variables. All the explanatory variables are numeric with two levels, -1 and 1. lll{ Variable Description Rods Kind of welding rods Drying Period of drying Material Welded material Thickness Thickness Angle Angle Opening Opening Current Current Method Welding method Preheating Preheating Strength Tensile strength of the weld in kg/mm. The response variable. }
