In the present study, the mechanical properties of some iron-based sintered alloys
prepared by powder metallurgy route were predicted using Artificial Neural Network
(ANN) approach. Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) are important tools used to predict
the complex processes with many variables and interactions. In order to prepare the
sintered compacts, the powders prepared from pre-alloyed iron base powders produced
by atomization (< 45, 45-63, 63-100, 100-150, >150 ?m) were the materials analyzed in
this paper. The analyzed powders were consolidated in compacts in a mold using
uniaxial pressing at 400 and 600 MPa with the disc dimensions of ? 8 ? 6 mm. Then,
the consolidated compacts of prepared powders were sintered in a laboratory furnace at
two different temperatures. The sintering temperature was approximately 1.150°C and
two sintering times of 60 and 90 minutes. The microhardness measurements were
performed to evaluate the mechanical properties of these specimens. Then, to predict the
mechanical properties of the sintered specimens, a neural network as multi layer
perceptron back propagation type was constructed. It was found that the proposed ANN
model studied in this paper can be used as an alternative to predict the mechanical
properties of some iron-based materials obtained by powder metallurgy route.
