Application of Genetic Algorithm for Maximize Mechanical Properties of AZ61 Alloy and Minimize Casting Defect
Abstract: This paper presents a comprehensive study of applying a Multi-Objective Genetic Algorithm (MOGA) to simultaneously maximise mechanical properties (Ultimate Tensile Strength, Yield Strength, and Elongation) of AZ61 magnesium alloy and minimise casting defects (specifically porosity and hot tearing susceptibility). AZ61 is a highly promising lightweight structural material widely used in the automotive and aerospace industries for its excellent strength-to-weight ratio and damping capacity. However, its hexagonal close-packed (HCP) crystal structure …
