Based on the feasibility of the algorithm, the main objective of this study is to apply the Genetic Algorithm to
optimize the three input parameters of laser weld for AISI 416 and AISI 440FSe stainless in Khan's mathematical
model [6] to control the pre-set welding size.
II. PROBLEM FORMULATION
The mode laser welding is shown Figure 2.
Fig. 1 The weld bead characteristics (WZW: Weld Zone Width, WPD: Weld Penetration Depth)
In this study, the optimization problem model of the laser weld for AISI 416 and AISI 440FSe stainless thickness 0.5
mm is given by Khan [6]. Laser Power ‘LP’ (W), Welding Speed ‘WS’ (m/min), Fiber Diameter ‘FD’ (m) are process
parameters in Khan's mathematical model and Weld Zone Width ‘WZW’ (m), Weld Penetration Depth ‘WPD’ (m)
are output parameters. As follows:
WZW 221.78917 0.26482 LP 21.185 WS 1.265 FD (1)
WPD (891.94 213.06 LP 250.69 WS 93.61 FD
(2)
73.75 LP WS 26.94 LP FD 30.97 WS FD) 1e 4
The desired weld size is the aim to be achieved. Two objective functions are shown in the equation (3):
f1 WZWref WZW
(3)
f 2 WPDref WPD
Where WZW , WPD are the magnituded weld size and WZWref , WPDref are the pre-set weld size.
The problem is to find the minimum value of the f1 and f 2 functions. Alternatively, equation (3) is shown as follows:
ìï f = l ´ WZW - WZW + (1- l )´ WPD - WPD
ï ref ref
í (4)
ïï WZW £ WZW £ WZW ;WPD £ WPD £ WPD
ïî min max min max
Where (WZWmin , WZWmax ) and (WPDmin , WPDmax ) are limit of the weld zone width and the weld penetration
depth, 0 1 is optimally selected as to prioritize between the variance with the desired weld zone width
magnitude.

V. CONCLUSIONS
This paper presented the use of GA to optimize the input parameters (Laser Power ‘LP’ (W), Welding Speed ‘WS’
(m/min), Fiber Diameter ‘FD’ (m)) of the laser welding process to achieve the desired weld size: the Weld Zone
Width WZWref =570 m and the Weld Penetration Depth WPDref =840 m. The base material of the constrained
overlap weld is AISI 416 and AISI 440FSe stainless, thickness 0.5 mm. The results of the study were compared with
the Khan’s result of the affirmation experiment I with errors not exceeding 5%, are shown in detail in table 1.
Specifically, the error of the input parameters LP, WS, and FD, compared to the Khan’s values, respectively, were
1.89 %, 4.80 %, and 2.92 %.
