Predicting of mechanical properties of Fe-Mn-(Al, Si) TRIP/TWIP steels using neural network modeling

In this work, an artificial neural network (ANN) model was established in order to predict the mechanical properties of transformation induced plasticity/twinning induced plasticity (TRIP/TWIP) steels. The model developed in this study was consider the contents of Mn (15-30 wt%), Si (2-4 wt%) and Al (2-4 wt%) as inputs, while, the total elongation, yield strength and tensile strength are presented as outputs. The optimal ANN architecture and training algorithm were determined. Comparing the predicted values by ANN with the experimental data indicates that trained neural network model provides accurate results.
