The present study deals with the extended version of our previous research work. In this article, for predicting the entire weld bead geometry and engineering stress–strain curve of the cold metal transfer (CMT) weldment, a MATLAB based application window (second version) is developed with certain modifications. In the first version, for predicting the entire weld bead geometry, apart from weld bead characteristics, x and y coordinates (24 from each) of the extracted points are considered. Finally, in the first version, 53 output values (five for weld bead characteristics and 48 for x and y coordinates) are predicted using both multiple regression analysis (MRA) and adaptive neuro fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) technique to get an idea related to the complete weld bead geometry without performing the actual welding process. The obtained weld bead shapes using both the techniques are compared with the experimentally obtained bead shapes. Based on the results obtained from the first version and the knowledge acquired from literature, the complete shape of weld bead obtained using ANFIS is in good agreement with the experimentally obtained weld bead shape. This motivated us to adopt a hybrid technique known as ANFIS (combined artificial neural network and fuzzy features) alone in this paper for predicting the weld bead shape and engineering stress–strain curve of the welded joint. In the present study, an attempt is made to evaluate the accuracy of the prediction when the number of trials is reduced to half and increasing the number of data points from the macrograph to twice. Complete weld bead geometry and the engineering stress–strain curves were predicted against the input welding parameters (welding current and welding speed), fed by the user in the MATLAB application window. Finally, the entire weld bead geometries were predicted by both the first and the second version are compared and validated with the experimentally obtained weld bead shapes. The similar procedure was followed for predicting the engineering stress–strain curve to compare with experimental outcomes.

Welding Processes

The control of welding processes has received much attention in the past decade, with most attention placed on real-time tracking of weld seams. The actual process control has been investigated primarily in the context of weld bead geometry regulation, ignoring for the most part the metallurgical properties of the weld. This paper addresses the latter problem through development of a model for in-process control of thermally activated material properties of weld. In particular, a causal model relating accessible inputs to the outputs of weld bead area, heat affected zone width, and centerline cooling rate at a critical temperature is developed. Since the thermal system is a distributed parameter, nonlinear one, it is modelled numerically to provide a baseline of simulation information. Experiments are performed that measure the thermal response of actual weldments and are used to calibrate the simulation and then to verify the basic dynamics predicted. Simulation results are then used to derive a locally linear transfer function matrix relating inputs and outputs. These are shown to be nonstationary, depending strongly upon the operating point and the boundary conditions.

The Cost

The cost of development of WPS will be very expensive if the welding parameter is selected based on trial and error. Optimal welding condition cannot be easily guessed unless the operator has records of good welding. If a calculator that can predict the welding parameter for the desired bead geometry accurately, such tool will be extremely useful for any fabrication industry. This paper intends to investigate the correlation between the welding parameter and weld bead geometry of 2F position T-fillet carbon steel, when welded by 1.2 mm diameter wire submerged arc welding. Keeping only one parameter as variable, 2F fillet weld coupons are welded by SAW with a range of welding current, welding voltage and welding speed. Only weld bead geometry that complied with the quality requirement of code of practice AWS D1.1 is considered. The trendline graph is created to fit the correlation between the heat input and the fillet weld geometry. By incorporating the trendline formulas into the calculator, the weld bead geometry can be predicted accurately for any welding parameter. The mean absolute deviation (MAD) between the predicted geometry and the experimental results is less than 0.50mm.
