Parameter Optimization of Hybrid-Tandem Gas Metal Arc Welding Using Analysis of Variance-Based Gaussian Process Regression

In this paper, the parameter optimization of the hybrid-tandem gas metal arc welding (GMAW) process was studied. The hybrid-tandem GMAW process uses an additional filler-wire with opposite polarity in contrast to the conventional tandem process. In this process, more process parameters and the relat...

description In this paper, the parameter optimization of the hybrid-tandem gas metal arc welding (GMAW) process was studied. The hybrid-tandem GMAW process uses an additional filler-wire with opposite polarity in contrast to the conventional tandem process. In this process, more process parameters and the relationship between the parameters causing strong nonlinearity should be considered. The analysis of variance-based Gaussian process regression (ANOVA-GPR) method was implemented to construct surrogate modeling, which can express nonlinearity including uncertainty of weld quality. Major parameters among several process parameters in this welding process can be extracted by use of this novel method. The weld quality used as a cost function in the optimization of process parameters is defined by characteristics related to penetration and bead shape, and the sequential quadratic programming (SQP) method was used to determine the optimal welding condition. This approach enabled sound weld quality at a high travel speed of 1.9 m/min, which is difficult to achieve in the hybrid-tandem GMAW process.
