RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
The welding process starts by checking the thickness of the material.
Based on the thickness, the material is classified into four categories:
22mm, 30mm, 36mm, and 40mm
Each thickness has its own predefined welding settings to ensure optimal results.
The process then determines the round type, which consists of two stages:
First Round: Initial penetration and stability
Final Round: Ensures a strong and finished weld
Each round has specific feed rate, amperage, and voltage settings based on thickness.
Parameters are carefully chosen to optimize heat input, prevent defects, and ensure weld strength.
The structured flow standardizes the welding process, ensuring high-quality and defect-free welds across different material thicknesses.

Methodology
Decision Tree:
In the present study, we have implemented a decision tree model with a random seed of 42 for the consistency of different experiments.
The model was enhanced with pruning strategies, producing the best tree structure parameters.
Implementation included 5-fold cross-validation to prevent overfitting and visualization tools for tree structure analysis.
Performance metrics measured precision, recall, f1-score, and support concerning each category.

Methodology->
Workflow:
We implemented three machine learning techniques (SVM, Decision Tree, and MLP) for manufacturing classification problems
Each algorithm was chosen for its unique strengths: SVM for kernel transformation in complex patterns, Decision Trees for clear interpretable paths, and MLP for weighted connection patterns
Models were evaluated based on heterogeneity handling, interpretability, data irregularity management, and scalability
Implementation included parameter optimization and comprehensive performance assessment across all models

Methodology->
In this study, we have implemented SVM, MLP, and Decision Tree models for welding data classification.
Dataset
The experimental dataset provided by the Hanthec Organization in Korea consists of 15,000 observations related to welding processes.
The dataset includes five key parameters: a welding section length of 2.5 meters, a welding rod specification of 1.6 mm, welding speeds ranging from 200 to 500 mm/min, electrical currents between 200 and 380 amperes, and voltage levels from 29 to 48 volts.
The data reveals distinct operational clusters in welding speeds, specifically at 200-250 mm/min, 330-350 mm/min, and 450-500 mm/min.
These clusters are significant as they indicate optimal settings for achieving quality welds. The dataset not only facilitates the optimization of welding operations but also supports the development of predictive models for quality control.
By analyzing this data, manufacturers can enhance efficiency, reduce defects, and ensure consistent quality in welding processes.
