Optimizing the control process parameters for the induction soldering of aluminium alloy waveguide paths1

The paper describes the problem of selecting the optimal initial values of algorithm parameters for the process of the induction soldering of aluminium alloy waveguide paths. The authors consider some factors influencing the quality of waveguide soldered joint elements. These factors depend on the correct choice of initial values for control parameters. The problem of optimizing such parameters for further analytical and numerical studies is researched by authors. For solving the stated task, the random search method is selected, allowing for an acceptable field study within the stated time to solve the problem of control optimization with the level of accuracy required by the technological process. Therefore, optimal initial values of the induction soldering technological process were found for three sizes of waveguide tubes and flanges.
