I.O. SKACHKOV and E.P. CHVERTKO

NTUU «Kiev Polytechnic Institute», Kiev, Ukraine
 
 
Abstract
Procedure was developed for monitoring the process of continuous flash butt welding. The feasibility of using neural networks for evaluation of stability of the welding process was established.
 
 
Keywords: flash butt welding, continuous flashing, process stability, defects in joints, deviation of process parameters, monitoring of quality, neuron networks
