The article proposes a method for designing of a dynamic neural network model for electrolytic plasma processing (EPP) and provides an example for an aluminide coating stripping from a nickel superalloy. Analysis of the experimental data shows that the coating thickness and roughness decrease non-linearly with time; also, the coating stripping rate increases with decreasing voltage and electrolyte temperature. To simulate the process dynamics, the following model swere used: static neural network models based on the experimental data, and a dynamic model designed using computational results from the static model. The static models of the EPP process have been developed using generalized regression neural network (GRNN) structures, which helped to gradually refine the input variable steps in order to supply a training set for the dynamic model with the target values ΔU = 6.25 B, ΔT = 2.5 °C and Δt = 1 min. To evaluate the adequacy of the models, the probability deviation interval for the coating thickness and roughness values around their mean values was calculated; the approximation quality of the obtained models was evaluated using coefficient of determination. The dynamic neural network model of the EPP process was implemented using a multi-layer perceptron with feedback (NARX); it has a hidden layer with a time delay. The model is capable of the transient response simulation for the coating thickness and surface roughness with respect to the input voltage and the electrolyte temperature variation. The model can be applied as a reference model in the field of automated process control for electrolytic plasma processing.
