Abstract: Artificial neural networks (ANN), being a sophisticated type of information processing system by imitating the neural system of human brain, can be used to investigate the effects of concentration of flux solution, temperature of liquid aluminium, temperture of tools and pressure on thickness of the intermetallic layer at the interface between steel and aluminium under solid-liquid pressure bonding of steel and aluminium perfectly. The optimum thickness has been determined according to the value of the optimum shearing strength.

Key words: artificial neural network, thickness of the intermetallic layer, solid-liquid pressure bonding
