Problem Statement
Developing Welding Expert System for
Bead Measurement using Artificial Neural
Network.
Project Preliminary
Project Preliminary is on Artificial Neural
Network(ANN)
Project Phase-I
Background of Project
In the area of welding technology there is a wide field
for studying the effect of process parameters as well as
the welding conditions for better quality of welded
parts with accuracy.
MIG welding is the most popular arc welding process
with a variety of applications, but the process is very
complex because it uses consumable electrode so the
type of bead produced and the penetration shows lot of
variations.
Objective of Project
To study the process parameters of MIG welding on
different materials.
To design experiments based on Taguchi method and
prepare weld schedule.
To perform experiments and carry out contact and
noncontact measurements.
Scope of project
To perform MIG welding experiments using ZUPER ARC
300 m/c available in workshop.
To carry out non-contact measurement using 2-D vision
system and vision cameras to be procured in machine
vision lab.
