Abstract
This research described to the determine an optimization mathematic model using response surface methodology in central composite design method and artificial neural network (ANN) for predicting the of tensile shear and nugget size in the zinc coated steel JIS G3313. The following resistance spot welding (RSW) parameters were studied: the welding current, welding time, and electrode force. The resulting materials were examined using tensile shear tests which were observed nugget size and microstructure with scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The microstructure phenomenon could be explained by the welding optimum condition that fine pearlite and intensity in heat affected zone. The research results reveal that an optimum RSW parameters were welding current of 12 kilo amperes, welding time of 9 cycle and 1.5 kilo newton electrode force. The fine acicular ferrite occurred in the nugget size, which results in increased welding material high mechanical property. The ANN model with the proposed mathematical model, which tensile shear represents 3 neurons for the input 10 neurons for 1 hidden layer and 1 output neurons (3-10-1). The ANN model was developed to establish of the nugget predict represents 3 neurons for the input 5 neurons for 1 hidden layer and 1 output neurons (3-5-1). The mean square error (MSE) and coefficient of determination (R2) for tensile shear predict was showed that of 0.0026 and 0.956 respectively, which nugget size predicted MSE of 0.0004 and R2 of 0.958. This research, the related manufacturing sector can use research data and mathematical models was used to predict and quality control of the RSW processes to obtain tensile shear and the nugget size according to the acceptance criteria.
