Abstract

This chapter introduces machine learning (ML) in friction stir welding (FSW), a solid-state welding process that has gained significant attention in research and application. The chapter discusses five primary ML methods: artificial neural networks (ANNs), support vector machines (SVM), random forests (RF), particle swarm optimisation (PSO), and convolutional neural networks (CNNs). The chapter emphasizes the successful application of ANNs in optimizing FSW process parameters and predicting tool wear, tensile failure, and fracture positions. CNNs are shown to be effective for microstructure studies and image detection, while SVM is a good tool for FSW process monitoring and temperature control. RF is demonstrated to have good abilities in investigating welding defects and tool monitoring, while PSO is frequently used in FSW welding bead studies. The chapter provides a straightforward methodology for those interested in utilising ML in welding studies, particularly for FSW.
