Application of BP Artificial Neural Network in Preparation of Ni–W Graded Coatings

The internal stress difference between soft-ductile aluminum alloy substrate and hard-brittle Ni–W alloy coating will cause stress concentration, thus leading to the problem of poor bonding force. Herein, this work prepared the Ni–W graded coating on aluminum alloy matrix by the pulse electrodeposit...

description The internal stress difference between soft-ductile aluminum alloy substrate and hard-brittle Ni–W alloy coating will cause stress concentration, thus leading to the problem of poor bonding force. Herein, this work prepared the Ni–W graded coating on aluminum alloy matrix by the pulse electrodeposition method in order to solve the mechanical mismatch problem between substrate and coatings. More importantly, a backward propagation (BP) neural network was applied to efficiently optimize the pulse electrodeposition process of Ni–W graded coating. The SEM, EDS, XRD, Vickers hardness tester and Weighing scales are used to analyze the micromorphology, chemical element, phase composition, and micro hardness as well as oxidation weight increase, respectively. The results show that the optimal process conditions with BP neural network are as follows: the bath temperature is 30 °C, current density is 15 mA/cm<sup>2</sup> and duty cycle is 0.3. The predicted value of the model agrees well with the experimental value curve, the relative error is minor. The maximum error is less than 3%, and the correlation coefficient is 0.9996.
