Evaluation of Thermal Embrittlement Susceptibility in Cast Austenitic Stainless Steel Using Artificial Neural Network
인공신경망을 이용한 주조 스테인리스강의 열취화 민감도 평가

Abstract
Cast austenitic stainless steel is used for several components, such as primary coolant piping, elbow, pump casing and valve bodies in light water reactors. These components are subject to thermal aging at the reactor operating temperature. Thermal aging results in spinodal decomposition of the delta-ferrite leading to increased strength and decreased toughness. This study shows that ferrite content can be predicted by use of the artificial neural network. The neural network has trained learning data of chemical components and ferrite contents using backpropagation learning process. The predicted results of the ferrite content using trained neural network are in good agreement with experimental ones.
