.... The results from PSO were compared with RSM and the optimized input welding parameters for the electrode current, hot wire current and wire feed rate exhibited maximum ultimate tensile strength which were also confirmed from response and contour plots. Originality/value Sensitivity analysis was also...

... and it is expensive than nickel base super alloys for such applications. The purpose of this paper is to deal with the optimization of the FW parameters of super austenitic stainless steel using artificial neural network (ANN) simulation and particle swarm optimization (PSO). Design/methodology/approach...
