Research on Optimum Processing Parameter of EDM Based on Support Vector Machine
The processing mechanism of electrical discharge machining (EDM) is complex and there are many factors affecting it, therefore the process parameter is very important for processing quality. This paper analyses the relationship between electric parameter and processing quality, then uses support vector machine (SVM) to predict the optimum electric parameter. The simulation result shows that the highest prediction accuracy is 96.10%, the lowest is 89.20%, average accuracy is 94.28%, indicating that the algorithm stability and generalization ability are outstanding. Further verified by experiment, the highest prediction accuracy can amount to 92.65%, the lowest is 81.5%, average accuracy is 89.38%, and electric parameter optimized by SVM can guarantee the expected processing effect better. The exploration in EDM intelligent machining will be convenient for operators to determine the most effective machining conditions.
