About
Phang Boo Onn is a researcher whose work centers on advancing robotic welding processes, particularly in the domain of CO₂ arc welding. His primary research area involves the systematic investigation of how direct process control parameters—such as welding current, voltage, travel speed, and gas flow rate—influence critical weld characteristics like penetration depth. Through his most cited work, published in 2012, he employed a factorial design approach to establish a clear, quantitative relationship between these parameters and weld penetration, a key factor determining the stress-carrying capacity and overall integrity of weld joints. This contribution provides a robust, data-driven framework for optimizing robotic welding parameters, enabling more precise control over weld quality in industrial applications. While his citation count is modest, his methodological emphasis on factorial design offers a replicable model for future studies in manufacturing engineering. Phang’s work is particularly valuable for students and practitioners seeking to bridge the gap between theoretical process control and practical robotic welding outcomes, underscoring the importance of systematic experimentation in improving manufacturing reliability.
