Abstract:

In the present investigation, an artificial neural network (ANN) model is developed to predict the isothermal hot forging behavior of AlCuMgPb aluminum alloy. The inputs of the ANN are deformation temperature, frictional factor, ram velocity and displacement whereas the forging force, barreling parameter and final shape are considered as the output variable. The developed feed-forward back-propagation ANN model is trained with Leven berg–Marquardt learning algorithm. Since the finite element (FE) simulation of the process is a time-consuming procedure, the ANN has been designed and the outputs of the FE simulation of the hot forging are used for training the network and then, the network is employed for prediction of the behavior of the output parameters during the isothermal forging process. Experimental data is compared with the FE predictions to verify the model accuracy. The performance of the ANN model is evaluated using a wide variety of standard statistical indices. Results show that the ANN model can efficiently and accurately predict isothermal hot forging behavior of AlCuMgPb alloy. Finally the extrapolation ability and noise sensitivity of the ANN model are also investigated. It is found that the extrapolation ability is very high in the proximity of the training domain, and the noise tolerance ability very robust.

today, scouring is one of the important topics in the river and coastal engineering so that the most destruction in the bridges is occurred due to this phenomenon. whereas the bridges are assumed as the most important connecting structures in the communications roads in the country and their importance is doubled while floodwater, thus exact design and maintenance thereof is very crucial. f...

Hot Deformation Behavior and Pulse Current Auxiliary Isothermal Forging of Hot Pressing Sintering TiAl Based Alloys

This paper focuses on the fabrication of as-forged Ti46.5Al2Cr1.8Nb-(W, B) alloy via pulse current auxiliary isothermal forging (PCIF). The starting material composed of near gamma (NG) microstructure was fabricated by adopting pre-alloyed powders via hot pressing sintering (HPS) at 1300 °C. Isothermal compression tests were conducted at a strain rate range of 0.001-0.1 s-1 and a temperature ra...

Enhancement of hot forging die life using different methods

Forging dies at high temperatures are under contact pressure, variable mechanical loads and thermal shock, furthermore they should withstand wear and friction in a high level. So, in order to increase die life, the selection of die material, coating and hardness is essential. In this review, various methods used for die life enhancement such as carbide coating, using the super alloy stellite 6 ...

Prediction of ultimate strength of shale using artificial neural network

A rock failure criterion is very important for prediction of the ultimate strength in rock mechanics and geotechnics; it is determined for rock mechanics studies in mining, civil, and oil wellborn drilling operations. Also shales are among the most difficult to treat formations. Therefore, in this research work, using the artificial neural network (ANN), a model was built to predict the ultimat...

Simulation and modeling of friction welding of stainless steel to aluminum alloy using finite element method and artificial neural network

Aluminum to stainless steel joints are broadly used in industries in order to reduce fuel consumption. While fusion welding is not a suitable method to join these metals. solid state welding, like friction welding (FW), is an effective way to this process. However, risk of intermetallic compounds (IMCs) formation is probable in these welds. In previews investigations formation of FeAl3, Fe2Al5 ...
