Later, the formulated ANFIS model was used along with simulated annealing (SA) algorithm determining the optimized parameters of FSW process so as to attain flaw free AZ80A Mg alloy joints.

The results show that welding voltage has the most significant effect on aspect ratio and dilution rate, while welding speed is the most important factor influencing number of humps and hardness gradient. As welding voltage increases, both aspect ratio and dilution rate keep increasing. With increase in welding speed, the number of humps and hardness gradient are increased.
