The analytical hierarchy process or AHP is a useful decision-making tool, and it is applied in this work in resistance spot welding where two different types of triple thin sheets consisting of aluminium, galvanized iron and stainless steel are joined. Combining both the AHP and ANN, a hybrid network is developed to eliminate the complexity of the experimental results to predict. The AHP-ANN hybrid network successfully predicted output parameters with less error. Correlation coefficient has been more than 0.98 and the applicability of this method..Downloads
