Flow Stress Prediction of High-Nb TiAl Alloys under High Temperature Deformation

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this work, a back propagation artificial neural network (BP-ANN) model is conducted to predict the flow behaviors of high-Nb TiAl (TNB) alloys during high temperature deformation. The inputs of the neural network are deformation temperature, log strain rate and strain whereas flow stress is the output. There is a single hidden layer with 7 neutrons in the network, and the weights and bias of the network were optimized by Genetic Algorithm (GA). The comparison result suggests a very good correlation between experimental and predicted data. Besides, the non-experimental flow stress predicted by the network is shown to be in good agreement with the results calculated by three dimensional interpolation, which confirmed a good generalization capability of the proposed network.
