Prediction and Optimization of Laser Transformation Hardening Parameters of Unalloyed Titanium Using RSM
Abstract: The optimization abilities in Design-expert software were used to optimize the laser phase transformation hardened bead profile parameters, i.e., to maximize hardened bead width (HBW) and to minimize, the heat input (HI), hardened depth (HD) and angle of entry of hardened bead profile (AEHB) in continuous wave (CW) Nd:YAG laser transformation hardening of unalloyed titanium sheet with 1.6 mm thickness. The mathematical models were developed from Response Surface Methodology (RSM) …

Experimental Investigation of Effect of Laser Process Parameters and Heat Input on Hardened Bead Geometry and Power Density of ASTM Grade 3 Pure Titanium using CW Laser Beam
Abstract: This research paper presents the experimental study of laser process parameters and heat input on hardened bead profile of ASTM Grade 3 commercially pure titanium sheet of 1.5 mm thickness using 2kW CW Nd: YAG laser. The selected two laser process parameters are: (1). Low laser process parameter (LLPP): Laser Power (LP): 600 Watts, Scanning speed (SS): 2000 mm/min, Focused position (FP): -10 mm with heat Input (HI): 180 J/cm …

Comparison of RSM and ANN Modeling Approaches in Predicting the Laser Phase Transformation Hardening Parameters on the Heat Input and Hardened-Bead Profile Quality of Unalloyed Titanium
Abstract: In the present work, laser transformation hardening (LTH) of unalloyed titanium, nearer to ASTM Grade 3 of chemical composition was investigated using CW 2kW, Nd: YAG laser. The laser process variables such as laser power, scanning speed, and focused position play a major role in deciding the laser hardened bead quality. Two methods, Response Surface Methodology (RSM) and Artificial Neural Network (ANN) were used to predict the heat input and …
