Abstract
The complexity and stochastic nature of the Electro discharge machining (EDM) process has defied numerous attempts of modeling it accurately. This paper reports an attempt of modeling the EDM process through Artificial Neural Networks. For orbital EDM modeling, the 9-9-2 size back propagation neural network has been developed. Machining depth, tool radius, orbital radius, radial step, vertical step, offset depth, pulse ontime, pulse offtime and discharge current are selected as input parameters. The material removal rate (MRR) and surface roughness (Ra) are output parameters for the model. Results of the neural network model have been compared with estimates obtained by multiple regression analysis. Experiments have also been performed to check the validity of the neural network model. It is concluded that the artificial neural network model for EDM provide faster and more accurate results.
