Abstract

One of the most common issues affecting the performance and reliability of a welded junction is distortion. The welding sequence has been found to have a considerable impact on distortions. In this regard, weld Sequence Optimization (WSO) is useful for preventing these constraints at the early designing phase, and minimizing total capital costs in the manufacturing sectors. Welding processes are usually decided by skilled welders, and in certain circumstances, an experimental strategy may be required. In the present study, realistic experimentation, simulation software, and Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) are used for minimizing the distortion in a complex structure. Experimentation is conducted using Gas Metal Arc Welding for a dissimilar joint from Stainless Steel SS304 with Mild Steel AISI1008, and the Finite Element Model (FEM) was created using MSC Simufact Welding solver and confirmed through a variety of trials. The objectives of this paper is to develop and test a practical strategy for predicting distortion induced during welding process and WSO employing ANN model by hot-encoding. The finding revealed that the distortion is reduced by 87.7 % from the maximum distortion obtained during the welding process.
