Abstract

:
In this study, deep learning approach was utilized for fatigue behavior prediction, analysis, and optimization of the coated AISI 1045 mild carbon steel with galvanization, hardened chromium, and nickel materials with different thicknesses of 13 and 19 µm were used for coatings and afterward fatigue behavior of related specimens were achieved via rotating bending fatigue test. Experimental results revealed fatigue life improvement up to 60% after applying galvanization coat on untreated material. Obtained experimental data were used for developing a Deep Neural Network (DNN) modelling and accuracy of more than 99%.was achieved. Predicted results have a fine agreement with experiments. In addition, parametric analysis was carried out for optimization which indicated that coating thickness of 10–15 µm had the highest effects on fatigue life improvement.

1. Introduction

Most of the used components in some major industries such as marine and offshore industries which primarily comprises the offshore oil and gas and the offshore wind energy industries are affected by the repeated applied loadings that make fatigue failure. Moreover, the corrosion phenomenon is an unavoidable factor for the failure of structures in the vicinity of water, especially seawater due to its salinity [1,2]. However, combination of fatigue and corrosion simultaneously can afford faster failure and generally, amounts of damages caused by corrosion fatigue are higher [3]. Therefore, considering effective approaches to improve the corrosion resistance and fatigue have critical roles in this area [4,5]. To improve the corrosion resistance of conventionally manufactured materials (specially steels), varieties of treatments can be performed such as shot peening [6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14], carburizing [15,16,17], and plating [18,19,20,21,22]. In addition, rather than conventional materials, recently different post-processing methods were also applied on the additively manufactured metallic materials as well to improve the mechanical properties [23,24,25,26,27,28,29,30,31,32].
Plating due its low cost, mostly used by providing a protective layer of corrosion-resistant material in the outer surface of the components that has contact with the corrosive environments. In electroplating as one of widely used methods of plating, an ionic metal is prepared with electrons to make a non-ionic coating on a regraded substrate by using chemical solution [33]. Because of initiation of micro-cracks in the coat layer by apply loading and afterward it’s interpenetration to the substrate, fatigue life of the coated material, specifically steels, might be reduced although the corrosion resistance was improved [34]. It is approved by many researches that different coatings such as nickel, hardened chromium, warm galvanization, and titanium can be improved the corrosion resistance [35,36,37,38] but few works were carried out to study the effects of coatings on fatigue behavior of the mantellic materials [39,40].
On the other hand, recently artificial intelligence-based approaches such as neural networks (NNs) are extensively implemented to analyze and optimize multi-objective and complex problems [41,42,43,44]; as well as their wide applications in fatigue life estimation [45,46,47,48,49,50]. Based on the available data in the literature different types of NNs were utilized for fatigue behavior prediction and analyses [51,52,53,54,55,56,57]. It should be mentioned that there are also different methods for fatigue life assessment such as XFEM [58,59] and phase field method [60,61]. By applying NN modelling or other approaches such as XFEM rather than fatigue life prediction, other types of analyses such as parametric and sensitivity analyses can be carried out by generating corresponded model function or further finite element analyses. However, by using other common methods such S-N or Manson-coffin curves only life predictions can be obtained.
In general, a neural network consists of three major layers: input, hidden, and output layers [62]. As the primary generation of artificial neural networks, shallow neural networks (SNNs) that have 1 or 2 hidden layers were mostly used in simulations of the ill-defined problems [63]. However, it is approved by developing Deep Neural Network (DNN) that has more hidden layers (more than 2), higher accuracy in the predicted results can be obtained with same or smaller data set [64,65]. The NNs are the most frequently employed machine learning approach for fatigue life prediction in the last decade [66]. A major reason for the popularity of the application of NNs on fatigue behavior analysis is that NNs are mostly utilized for universal function approximation. NNs have significant self-learning properties, adaptivity, fault tolerance, nonlinearity, and flexibility of nonlinear mapping [67]. Therefore, as phenomenon of fatigue is highly sensitive to various parameters including material, loading, temperature, humidity, vibration etc., NNs can be applied to all fatigue analysis. On the other hand, as reported in several recent studies [68,69], applications of DNN based modelling of fatigue behavior attracts lots of attention lately due to their higher performance and accuracy compared to the SNNs [70,71]. In addition, it should be mentioned that applications of NN-based models for fatigue behavior analyses are investigated in the comprehensive review study carried out by Chen and Liu [72].
Following the authors previous studies [47,73] which surveyed the applications of SNNs on fatigue life prediction of the coated carbon steel, in this study, influences of three different coatings of nickel, hardened chromium, and warm galvanization on fatigue behavior of the AISI 1045 mild carbon steel which has extensive applications in different industries due its cost and properties, were investigated experimentally and a DNN model was developed for prediction of fatigue life of the coated steel with different coatings thicknesses and amplitude stresses.

2. Experimental Study

Fatigue test specimens (as shown in Figure 1a) based on the BS3518 standard [59] were prepared using AISI 1045 carbon steel with chemical composition of 0.45 C, 0.8 Mn, 0.04 P, 0.05 S and Bal. Fe (% weight). The used material had yield and ultimate stresses of 475 and 515 MPa respectively. AISI 1045 is widely employed in different engineering components such as tools, railway wheels, and offshore structures due to its good properties and low cost [60,61,62]. Three sets of specimens were considered for each desired coating, including one control specimen without coating (as-received) and two others with different coating thickness. Fatigue tests were performed via rotating cantilever beam equipment (as presented in Figure 1b) with stress ratio of R=-1, frequency of 58 Hz, room temperature, 50% humidity, and pure bending load with stress amplitude range of 330–450 MPa in all considered sets of specimens. To obtain S-N curves, in each regarded sets 13 samples were utilized. Three coatings of nickel, hardened chromium, and warm galvanization, with thicknesses of 13 and 19 µm were plated on the steel substrate via electroplating in same conditions of humidity, temperature, etc. Images of Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) of the coated specimens with considered thicknesses are presented in Figure 1c.
Obtained S-N curves of the coated AISI 1045 steel with different coatings as results of fatigue tests is presented in Figure 2 [41,63]. The results of fatigue experiments reveal that fatigue life improves in the coated specimens by warm galvanization in both thicknesses of 13 and 19 µm. Also, in the coated specimen by nickel with 13 µm thickness. Nickel coating with19 µm thickness approximately has no effects on variation of fatigue life. However, fatigue life of coated specimens with hardened chromium in both considered thicknesses is reduced. Considering stress level of 330 MPa, the results reveal that after applying coatings on the untreated material, the fatigue behavior can be improved up to 40–60 and 5–50% in the coated specimens with warm galvanization and nickel, respectively.

3. Deep Neural Network

In this study, uncoated AISI 1045 steel specimen was considered as control specimen; thus, the coated specimens with different thicknesses and materials revealed the effects of applied post-treatment under fatigue loading. Therefore, two parameters were considered for inputs of the NNs modelling; one is related to the material and the other one is related to the fatigue test. The difference of the treated materials rather than the coatings material is the thickness of each coating which considered as one of the inputs. Also, a major parameter of stress amplitude which is related to the conditions of fatigue loading was also regarded as inputs. Strong correlation of these two parameters as the main variables of this study with fatigue behavior can be clearly seen in the obtained S-N curves of the different sets of specimens. As it mentioned, fatigue behavior was investigated at 13 different stress levels and with considering of coating three thicknesses of 0 (as-received specimens), 13, and 19 µm for coatings, there exist 39 samples for each of the regarded coatings materials that 30 of them were used for training and the remained 9 samples, which not employed during training step, were used for network testing. Overall, 77 and 23% of obtained experimental data was used for networks training and testing processes, respectively. Employed methodology in this study is presented in Figure 3a (similar methodology to the one used by Maleki et al. [63,65]). Different SNNs and DNNs by trial-and-error approach were developed; Figure 3b depicts the architecture of the DNN with four hidden layers that w, b and f represent the weight matrixes, bias vectors, and transfer function in each related layer, respectively. It is well known that number of neurons as computational nodes of neural networks, have critical role on the efficiency of applied models [74]. Accuracy of the predicted results of networks which determined via correlation coefficient (R2) was gathered as the factor of efficiency of each developed network. Value of (R2) was calculated as follows [75]:
R 2 = i = 1 n ( f E X P , i F E X P ) ( f A N N , i F A N N ) i = 1 n ( ( f E X P , i F E X P ) 2 ( f A N N , i F A N N ) 2 )  
where, n is the number of fed samples, fEXP and fANN represent the experimental and predicted values, respectively. The values of fEXP and fANN were determined as follows [76]:
F E X P   = 1 n   i = 1 n f E X P , i    
F A N N   = 1 n   i = 1 n f A N N , i  

4. Results and Discussion

Accuracy of the results of several developed SNNs with 1 and 2 hidden layers with different number of neurons in each layer of them for nickel coated specimens is compared in Figure 4a. It can be seen that in the SNNs, in most of the cases by increasing the number of neurons, the efficiency of the network is become higher. Figure 4b illustrates a comparison between the accuracy of the developed SNNs and DNNs with highest performance for all of the coating materials. From this figure, by implementation of a DNN with structure of 2-36-18-18-9-1, learning rate of 0.185, and Logaritmic Sigmod tarnsfer function, accuracy of the predicted results of fatigue life for all of the coated specimens for each testing and training steps can be reached to approximately 0.99, which is quite acceptable. Comparison of the predicted and experimentally values of fatigue life for training and testing steps is revealed in Figure 5.
To clearly observe the differences between the experimental and predicted results through developing DNNs, combined results of training and testing processes for all coating materials are shown in Figure 6. The results reveal highly acceptable and very low data scattering in the obtained results.
Relevant model function of a DNN with 6 layers can be determined by the following equation:
O (o(1)) = a6 = f6(w6f5(w5f4(w4f3 (w3f2(w2f1(w1i + b1) + b2) + b3) + b4) + b5) + b6)
where a1 to a5 represent the outputs of the first to fifth layer, respectively; a6 is the sixth layer output which is equal to the function O (o(1)). Function of o(1) expresses fatigue life.
Although in the used data set which fed to the network, there were only 3 and 13 values for coatings thicknesses and stress amplitude, respectively, by using generated model function, parametric analyses can be carried out for the whole interval of the input parameters as shown in Figure 7. According to the DNN results, AISI 1045 steel coated by nickel and warm galvanization with coating thicknesses of 10 to 15 µm have the highest effects on fatigue life improvement and the thickness values lower and higher than the mentioned interval have not any considerable effects on the variation of the fatigue life. However, in the hardened chromium coated material, fatigue life decreases by increasing of coating thickness.

5. Conclusions

In the present study, influences of different conventional industrial coatings, including nickel, hardened chromium, and warm galvanization which are usually used for the improvements of the corrosion resistance, were investigated on fatigue life of the coated AISI 1045 carbon steel. Experimental results revealed that coatings of nickel and warm galvanization with a thickness of 13 µm improve the fatigue life. Moreover, using hardened chromium coating leads to reduce the fatigue life of the AISI 1045 steel. Afterward, the process was modeled and analyzed via SNNs and DNNs that based on the obtained results of R2, DNN has higher performance rather than the SNN. DNN results illustrate that highest fatigue life of coated steel with nickel and warm galvanization can be obtained in the thicknesses of 10-15 µm and also by employing hardened chromium as coating, by increasing of the thickness the fatigue life decreases. Eventually, it can be concluded that DNN that has more efficiency than SNN can be used for prediction and analysis of the fatigue life of coated materials finely.
