In welding, the concept of optimisation had been used, till date, to serve two specific purposes. To obtain any desired weld attributes, a set of required optimal input parameters could be determined utilising the principle of optimisation. To establish an input–output relationship of a welding process accurately, which might be essential to automate it, the tools for optimisation had been used extensively. These optimisation problems were formulated as either a single-objective or multi-objectives or many-objectives ones. Both traditional and nature-inspired optimisation tools were used for the said purposes. This paper provides an extensive review on the role of optimisation in welding. Some research areas have also been identified for future study.
