GTAW Procedure Expert System Based on Neural Network

Article Preview

Abstract:

Intelligent procedure expert system was developed to select appropriate GTAW procedure in this paper. First, the function design and implementation methods of the welding procedure expert system were introduced. The expert system can present the welding procedure card, multimedia display of welding process, and output function to makes the data sharing more convenient. Then, the database design of the welding procedure expert system based on C/S mode was presented where the expert knowledge was stored. At last, the neural network model was established to realize procedure selection based on the neural network learning ability and the welding case from the database. With the BPNN model, the welding parameters can be obtained based on the input welding conditions.
