摘要

This study aimed to enhance ultimate tensile strength (UTS) and impact strength (IS) for dissimilar AISI 304 stainless steel and AISI 1018 mild steel joint using vibration assisted robotic gas metal arc welding (GMAW) process. Three variant levels were employed to five input parameters namely, current, voltage, welding speed, gas flow rate, and amplitude. 32 experiments were designed and carried out based on central composite design in response surface methodology. According to the experimental investigation, maximum UTS of 517.67 MPa was achieved at current 85 A, voltage 30 V, gas flow rate 8 L/min, welding speed 5 mm/sec, and amplitude 0.6 mm; and maximum IS of 51.92 J was obtained at current 100 A, voltage 26 V, gas flow rate 6 L/min, welding speed 7 mm/sec, and amplitude 0.4 mm. A hybrid ANN-GA model was constructed to forecast and optimize the response variables and the corresponding control parameters. The ANN modeling had best predicted responses with an MSE of 0.006 and coefficient of regression R of 0.98805 for normalized data and an MSE of 214.44 on original data for a 5-13-2 configuration back-propagation network using Bayesian Regularization algorithm. The optimized GA has resulted UTS and IS of 579.2 MPa and 68.69 J respectively. From the confirmation test, an average responses of UTS 556.7 MPa and IS 71 J were obtained with error percentages of 4.05% and 3.24% respectively.
