Abstract	Laser transformation hardening (LTH) is an innovative and advanced laser surface modification technique as compared to conventional transformation hardening processes and has been employed in aerospace, marine, chemical applications, heat exchangers, cryogenic vessels, components for chemical processing and desalination equipment, condenser tubing, airframe skin, and nonstructural components which introduces the advantageous residual stresses into the surface, improving the mechanical properties like wear, resistance to corrosion, tensile strength, and fatigue strength. In the present study, LTH of commercially pure titanium, nearer to ASTM grade 3 of chemical composition was investigated using continuous wave 2 kW, Nd: YAG laser. The effect of laser process variables such as laser power, scanning speed, and focused position was investigated using response surface methodology (RSM) and artificial neural network (ANN) keeping argon gas flow rate of 10 lpm as fixed input parameter. This paper describes the comparison of the heat input (HI) and ultimate tensile strength (σ) (simply called as tensile strength) predictive models based on ANN and RSM. The paper also presents the effect of laser process variables on the HI and ultimate σ. The research work also emphasizes on the effect of HI on σ. The experiments were conducted based on a three-factor, three-level Box–Behnken surface statistical design. Quadratic polynomial equations were developed for proper process parametric study for its optimal performance characteristics. The experimental results under optimum conditions were compared with the simulated values obtained from the RSM and ANN model. Adequacy of the developed models was tested by analysis of variance technique. A multilayer feed-forward neural network with a Levenberg–Marquardt back-propagation algorithm was adopted to develop the relationships between the laser hardening process parameters, HI, and ultimate σ. The performance of the developed ANN models were compared with the second-order RSM mathematical models of HI and σ. There was good agreement between the experimental and simulated values of RSM and ANN. The comparison clearly indicates that the ANN models provide more accurate prediction compared to the RSM models. It has been found that there is a trend of increased tensile strength with the decrease of hardening heat input and a trend of increased tensile strength with the increase of hardening cooling rate. As heat input decreases, there will be a faster cooling rate. Considering the effect of HI on ultimate σ, it was found that the lower the heat input, the faster cooling rate. The details of experimentation, model development, testing, validation of models, effect of laser process variables on heat input and ultimate σ, effect of HI on σ, and performance comparison of RSM and ANN models are presented in the paper. The results of Box–Behnken design of RSM and ANN models also indicate that the proposed models predict the responses adequately within the limits of input parameters being used. It is suggested that regression equations can be used to find optimum conditions for HI and σ of laser-hardened commercially pure titanium material.
