摘要

The present research proposed a machine learning (ML)-based model and meta-model framework for design of friction stir welding (FSW) process applicable to alloys in general. A fourfold model had trained utilizing K-mode clustering, support vector regression, random forest regression, K-nearest neighbors regression and gradient boost algorithms. These meta models build a constitutive framework to progressively identify the required set of parameters when the sheet thickness and alloy(s) are to be welded, which is known. The proposed framework aims to integrate the multiple interconnected predictive ML model to consider all aspects of design of FSW for a wide range of alloys unlike the other reported AI/ML applications, which is limited to specific prediction only. The approach is capable of approximating the possible combinations of tool materials, tool geometry, rotational speed and welding speed of a FSW process. The design of FSW process for a 5-mm-thick AA5083 sheet was investigated with the proposed approach to validate the design approach. Eventually, experimental fabrication of few FSW of AA5083 sheet and their tensile testing were performed with the designed set of parameters and compared their efficiency to validate the model-derived design data. It demonstrated the effectiveness of the proposed design approach with an average error of ± 6%.
