Estimation of Mechanical Properties of Welded S355j2+n Steel via the Artificial Neural Network

Abstract

A new estimation study on material features for welding processes is reported. The method is based on the Arti cial Neural Network (ANN) for estimation of material features after the gas-metal arc welding process. Since welding is a very common process in many engineering areas, this method would certainly assist technicians and engineers in estimating material features related to the welding parameters before any welding operation. In the proposed method, the input parameters of welding are de ned as various shielding gas mixtures of Ar, O2 and CO2. As the resulting feature, an estimation is made on the mechanical properties, such as tensile strength, impact test, elongation and weld metal hardness, following ANN. The controller is trained with the scaled conjugate gradient method. It is proven that some estimated values are consistent with the experimental data, whereas some others have relatively higher errors. Thus, this method can be used to estimate, especially, the yield strength and elongation values when the shielding gas proportions are ascertained before the welding. Thus, the method helps to ascertain the welding gas selection in a very short time for engineers, and assists in decreasing welding costs.

Using an optimized RBF neural network to predict the out-of-plane welding distortions based on the 3-2-1 locating scheme

“…The range of Sp was selected to be between [0.1,10] with the step of 10 2 . Likewise, N was set to vary between [1,15] with the step of 1. The convergence plot of the SA algorithm is illustrated in Figure 9.…”

“…Welding is one of the most well-known methods to join materials permanently. Roughly speaking, welding of machinery parts is inevitable for most of the engineering requests [1]. Selecting the welding process type is contingent on the structure, technical requirements, and application conditions [2].…”

“…These characteristics make it possible to use ANN in many elds such as manufacturing, production planning, nance, and medicine. Studies about manufacturing eld show that ANN has been used for predicting experimental results, analyzing the e ects of process parameters, and predicting mechanical properties in manufacturing such as casting and welding processes [14][15][16][17][18]. Considering the studies carried out in the eld of production planning, it is seen that ANN has been used to solve the production back allocation problem, lot-sizing problem, and workforce scheduling problem [19][20][21].…”
