Abstract

In this study, machine learning (ML) models are developed to predict the value of interfacial region thickness (IRT) and ultimate tensile strength (UTS) of diffusion-bonded Al-Ni based on molecular dynamics simulation data. Molecular dynamics simulations are performed to simulate the diffusion bonding of Al-Ni with three parameters with three to four level for each parameter. The results of the simulations that are used to generate the ML models are the value of IRT and UTS. The temperature have influenced the performance of ML models with significant impact, indicated by the value of MSE and R2 that used temperature as the input parameters with an excellent performance. However, the combination of the three parameters as the input shows the best performance, indicated by the MSE value of 0 and the R2 value of 1, showing that the ML models performance will increase with the increase of the input data. Furthermore, the models with the highest performance throughout the test are the NN models, followed by the kNN, whereas the other three models showing average performance. This study has successfully developed ML models to predict the IRT and UTS from the molecular dynamics simulation data of diffusion bonding of Al-Ni.
