Description

MAP_MA-STEELS_NEURAL uses the parameters obtained from a neural network training process to predict the yield strength, ultimate tensile strength and percent elongation of the MA-ODS ferritic steels.

Tensile properties data from published literature were analysed using a neural network technique within a Bayesian framework (Ref. 1-2). The analysis, though empirical, can after appropriate training and with the use of committee of models, produce results which are metallurgically reasonable.

The predictions are made with committees which are composed of 5 models for yield strength, 3 models for ultimate tensile strength and 6 models for elongation. These are as a function of the following variables within the stated ranges:

Parameter Maximum Minimum
Chromium, wt.% 0.1300D+02 0.2000D+02
Aluminium, wt.% 0.0000D+00 0.4500D+01
Titanium, wt.% 0.5000D+00 0.3500D+01
Molybdenum, wt.% 0.0000D+00 0.1500D+01
Yttria, wt.% 0.0000D+00 0.5000D+00
Annealing temp., C 0.2000D+02 0.1330D+04
Annealing time, sec. 0.0000D+00 0.1200D+03
Ageing temp., C 0.2000D+02 0.8000D+03
Ageing time, sec. 0.0000D+00 0.2888D+04
Cold-work, % 0.0000D+00 0.7000D+02
Test temp., C 0.0000D+00 0.1250D+04
Strain rate, 1/s. 0.3330D-07 0.3330D-01

In addition to the parameters above, yield strength and ultimate tensile strength are also included as variables in the predictions of elongation.

To run the program MAP_MA-STEELS_NEURAL the following files are required, and should not be altered:

Y1WT, Y2WT, Y3WT, Y4WT, Y5WT
Contain neural network information for yield strength.
U1WT, U2WT, U3WT
Contain neural network information for ultimate tensile strength.
E1WT, E2WT, E3WT, E4WT, E5WT, E6WT
Contain neural network information for elongation.

The raw data used in the training of the neural network is contained in the file `neural-dataset'
