Prediction of Plasma Arc Cutting Performance for SS-304 Material using Artificial Neural Network
Journal Title: International Journal of Mechanical and Production Engineering Research and Development (IJMPERD ) - Year 2019, Vol 9, Issue 5
Abstract
A number of cutting parameters are responsible for the quality of cut in plasma arc cutting (PAC) process, so the prediction of process performance is important to set the control parameters for achieving the adequate cut quality. This paper attempts to develop predictive models for Current input parameters, stand-off distance, pressure and cutting speed and their effects on output responses like material remove rate (MRR), top kerf width, bottom kerf width, straightness, and bevel angle during PAC. All the experiments were carried out on 6 mm thick SS-304 material, different output responses were measured and various artificial neural network (ANN) architecture models were developed in Easy NN software for prediction and were determined by calculating various errors and variances between actual experiments. The limiting value for all the errors over the entire data is selected as 5% and the maximum number of training cycles are limited to 1000000 for each learning set. In the present work, it is found that 4-6-5 ANN architecture is the best model structure for selected input parameters.
