Abstract
This paper presents the development of a back propagation neural network model for the prediction of weld bead geometry in pulsed gas metal arc welding process. The model is based on experimental data. The thickness of the plate, pulse frequency, wire feed rate, wire feed rate/travel speed ratio, and peak current have been considered as the input parameters and the bead penetration depth and the convexity index of the bead as output parameters to develop the model. The developed model is then compared with experimental results and it is found that the results obtained from neural network model are accurate in predicting the weld bead geometry.
