    Effects of welding parameters on penetration depth in mild steel A-TIG welding
    (SHARIF UNIV TECHNOLOGY, 2018-01-20) KURTULMUŞ, MEMDUH; Kurtulmus, M.
    A-TIG welding is a welding method in which TIG welding is conducted by covering a thin layer of activating flux on the weld bead beforehand. The most significant benefit of this process is the gain in weld penetration depth. A-TIG welds were produced on mild steel plates with TiO2 flux. The emphasis of this paper was laid upon introducing the effects of various process parameters, namely welding current, welding speed, powder/acetone ratio of the flux, arc length, and electrode angle on mild steel A-TIG welding. The weld penetration depth was measured metallographically. An optimum value was determined for each welding parameter. (C) 2019 Sharif University of Technology. All rights reserved.

    Artificial Neural Network Modelling for Prediction of SNR Effected by Probe Properties on Ultrasonic Inspection of Austenitic Stainless Steel Weldments
    (DE GRUYTER POLAND SP ZOO, 2018-05-28) KURTULMUŞ, MEMDUH; Kurtulmus, Memduh
    Many austenitic stainless steel components are used in the construction of nuclear power plants. These components are joined by different welding processes, and radiation damages occur in the welds during the service life of the plant. The plants are inspected periodically with ultrasonic test methods. Many ultrasonic inspection problems arise due to the weld metal microstructure of austenitic stainless steel weldments. The present research was conducted in order to describe the affects of probe angle and probe frequency of both transversal and longitudinal wave probes on detecting the defects of austenitic stainless steel weldments. Feed forward back propagation artificial neural network (ANN) models have been developed for predicting signal to noise ratio (SNR) of transversal and longitudinal wave probes. Input variables that affect SNR output in these models are welding angle, probe angle, probe frequency and sound path. Of the experimental data, 80% is used for a training dataset and 20% is used for a testing dataset with 10 neurons in hidden layers in developed ANN models. Mean absolute error (MAE) and mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) types are calculated as 0.0656 and 16.28%, respectively, to predict performance of ANN models in a transversal wave probe. In addition, MAE and MAPE are calculated as 0.0478 and 18.01%, respectively, for performance in a longitudinal wave probe.
