This research work presents an incorporated approach to modelling of WEDM of AA6063 (armour applications) using support vector machine technique. The experimental investigation has been carried out with four input variables namely pulse-on-time (Pon), pulse-off-time (Poff), servo-voltage (VS) and peak-current (IP). Surface roughness is measured as response parameter. The experimental runs are designed according to 3k full factorial design (k is number of input variables). It is apparent from this study that values anticipated by developed model are found closer to experimental results. Thus, it ensures appropriateness of model for prediction purpose and smart manufacturing. Machined surfaces are also examined by SEM to critically evaluate the process.

To further improve prediction accuracy and optimization quality of wire electrical discharge machining of SiCp/Al composite, trim cuts were performed using Taguchi experiment method to investigate the influence of cutting parameters, such as pulse duration ( Ton), pulse interval ( Toff), water pressure ( Wp), and wire tension ( Wt)), on material removal rate and three-dimensional surface characteristics ( Sq and Sa). An optimization model to predict material removal rate and surface quality was developed using a novel hybrid Gaussian process regression and wolf pack algorithm approach based on experiment results. Compared with linear regression model and back propagation neural network, the availability of Gaussian process regression is confirmed by experimental data. Results show that the worst average predictive error of five independent tests for material removal rate, Sq, and Sa are not more than 10.66%, 19.85%, and 22.4%, respectively. The proposed method in this article is an effective method to optimize the process parameters for guiding the actual wire electrical discharge machining process.
