Prediction of Tensile Property of Hydrogenated Ti600 Titanium Alloy Using Artificial Neural Network

An artificial neural network (ANN) model has been developed to analyze and predict the correlation between tensile property and hydrogenation temperature and hydrogen content of hydrogenated Ti600 titanium alloy. The input parameters of the neural network model are hydrogenation temperature and hydrogen content. The output is ultimate tensile strength. The accuracy of ANN model was tested by the testing data samples. The prediction capability of ANN model was compared with the multiple linear regression approach and response surface method. The combined influence of inputs on the tensile property is also simulated using ANN model. It is found that excellent performance of the ANN model was achieved, and the results showed good agreement with experimental data. Moreover, the developed ANN model can be used as a tool to control the tensile property of titanium alloys.
