Ann Model

Sustainability plays an important role in manufacturing industries through economically-sound processes that able to minimize negative environmental impacts while having the social benefits. In this present study, the modeling of wire electrical discharge machining (WEDM) cutting process using an artificial neural network (ANN) for prediction has been carried out with a focus on sustainable production. The objective was to develop an ANN model for prediction of two sustainable measures which were material removal rate (as an economic aspect) and surface roughness (as a social aspect) of titanium alloy with ten input parameters. By concerning environmental pollution due to its intrinsic characteristics such as liquid wastes, the water-based dielectric fluid has been used in this study which represents an environmental aspect in sustainability. For this purpose, a feed-forward backpropagation ANN was developed and trained using the minimal experimental data. The other empirical modelling techniques (statistics based) are less in flexibility and prediction accuracy. The minimal, vague data and nonlinear complex input-output relationship make this ANN model simple and perfects method in the manufacturing environment as well as in this study. The results showed good agreement with the experimental data confirming the effectiveness of the ANN approach in the modeling of material removal rate and surface roughness of this cutting process.

Al Composite

With the properties of high specific strength, small thermal expansion and good abrasive resistance, the particle-reinforced aluminum matrix composite is widely used in the fields of aerospace, automobile and electronic communications, etc. However, the cutting performance of the particle-reinforced aluminum matrix composite is very poor due to severe tool wear and low machining efficiency. Wire electrical discharge machining has been proven to be a good machining method for conductive material with any hardness. Even so, the high-volume SiCp/Al content composite is still a difficult-to-machine material in wire electrical discharge machining due to the influence of insulative the SiC particle. The goal of this paper is to analyze the machining characteristics and find the optimal process parameters for the high-volume content (65 vol.%) SiCp/Al composite in wire electrical discharge machining. Experimental results show that the material removal method of the SiCp/Al composite includes sublimating, decomposing and particle shedding. The material removal rate is found to increase with the increasing pulse-on time, first increasing and then decreasing with the increasing pulse-off time, servo voltage, wire feed and wire tension. Pulse-on time and servo voltage are the dominant factors for surface roughness. In addition, the multi-objective optimization method of the nondominated neighbor immune algorithm is presented to optimize the process parameters for a fast material removal rate and low surface roughness. The optimized process parameters can increase the material removal rate by 34% and reduce the surface roughness by 6%. Furthermore, the effectiveness of the Pareto optimal solution is proven by the verified experiment.

Ann Model

The prediction of optimal machining conditions for required surface roughness and material removal rate (MRR) plays a very significant role in process planning of wire electrical discharge machining (WEDM). Artificial neural networks (ANN) are widely applied to predict the performance characteristics of complex machining process like WEDM very accurately. This present work deals with the features of cutting operation by WEDM of tungsten carbide- cobalt composite(WC – Co) and an artificial neural networks(ANN) model in terms of machining parameters, developed to predict surface roughness(Ra) and material removal rate (MRR).The experiment was planned as per Taguchi’s L 27 orthogonal array. The predictive capacity of the models was validated. The test results indicate that the proposed models could adequately describe the performance indicators with the limits of the factors that are being investigated. Finally the accuracy of the developed ANN model was compared to the experimental values. It was observed that the proposed ANN model is good.
