N2 - Continually increasing demands in pipeline welding concerning quality, frequent usage of superior, heat-sensitive, and corrosion-resistant materials alongside high assembly costs encourage the assessment of a welding process in detail. The only way to conquer such problems was the adaptation of technologically innovative welding methods that integrate the goodness of sophisticated power supply units and advanced software configuration. One such method is regulated metal deposition (RMDTM) welding. This work explores the influence of RMDTM welding variables and optimizes them for the best output responses. For that, voltage (V), current (A), and gas flow rate (GFR) were selected as welding variables, and their responses have been measured in terms of bead height (BH), bead width (BW), heat-affected zone (HAZ), and depth of penetration (DOP) by taking bead-on-plate trails on chrome moly steel plates. A novel optimization route based on the integrated concept of the TOPSIS-Taguchi approach has also been proposed, which delivers the optimal parametric setting as current = 100 A, voltage = 13 V, and gas flow rate = 21 L/min.
