Numerical simulation of TIG welding under applied magnetic field and optimization of welding process parameter
摘要
To address the challenges associated with high experimental costs and low efficiency in optimizing TIG welding process parameters under external magnetic fields, this study proposes a multi-objective optimization framework that integrates numerical simulation with machine learning. A three-dimensional multi-physics model was developed using COMSOL Multiphysics, generating a dataset of 201 samples to train an XGBoost model for predicting the characteristics of the molten pool temperature field. Comparative evaluations against a BPNN model confirmed the superior predictive accuracy of the XGBoost model. Further, by incorporating a welding quality weighting formula and implementing the non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm II (NSGA-II), multi-objective optimization of the process parameters was conducted, leading to a set of optimal solutions. The findings demonstrate that the proposed methodology substantially improves the accuracy and efficiency of welding process design.
