In the 4th Industrial Revolution is implemented with the help of advances in Artificial Intelligence (AI). The effect of the AI has automatized the mechanical engineering with the smart machines and robots. The technology used these days in the machines is to aid the solutions in the direction of the real-world and complex problems. In the Industrial Revolution, manufacturing the better quality product with the high speed and accuracy is possible with advanced manufacturing by using laser beam. Laser is used to weld the similar/dissimilar with optimum strength and Heat Affected Zone. AI is used to find the better manufacturing process parameters of the Laser beam welding process. In this research paper, the laser beam welding is used to weld the AISI 316 and AISI 4130 steel metals and identified the optimal combination with the AI algorithms Genetic Algorithms, Simulated Annealing, and Whales Optimization Algorithm.
