A Multi-Task Learning Framework for Simultaneous In-Situ Prediction of Wear and Friction in DED-LB MMCs Coatings
摘要
Conventional machine learning approaches for in-situ tribological monitoring in Directed Energy Deposition (DED-LB) often treat Wear Rate (WR) and Coefficient of Friction (COF) as isolated tasks, ignoring their shared physical representation while operating as opaque systems. To overcome this, this study introduces Tribo-MtGB, an interpretable Multi-Task Gradient Boosting framework. Utilizing real-time thermal-geometric molten pool descriptors, the architecture leverages a shared-representation layer and inverse-variance task-weighting to simultaneously optimize WR and COF predictions across a wide gradient of Stellite 6/WC-12Co metal matrix composites. Validation demonstrates that Tribo-MtGB significantly outperforms state-of-the-art single-task models (XGBoost, MLP), achieving global
