Abstract
Ti-6Al-4 V Grade-5 alloy is remarkably used in the medical, aerospace, and automotive industries owing to its characteristics like lightweight – high strength, and admirable corrosion resistance. Experiments have consistently held significant value in uncovering new knowledge and assessing the performance attributes of a process. However, due to high costs and limited trials, there is a shift towards using Machine Learning (ML) to forecast the properties of such materials. This study aims to establish a connection with the performance parameters and surface characterization of EDM of Ti-6Al-4 V Grade-5 alloy using Al2O3 and SiC Hydroxyapatite (HA) nano-powder mixed deionized water. The tool wear rate (TWR), material removal rate (MRR), and surface roughness (SR) properties characteristics were analyzed by experimenting with the input variables of peak current, pulse on and off time, and powder concentration. Four different ensemble ML methods were used to predict the performance characteristics, co-starring bagging, extra tree (ET), extreme gradient boosting (XGB), and random forest (RF) regressors. The data set is used to train the proposed Python models, and the hyperparameter tuning procedure is used to find the best model for predicting the target values. The observed data shows the accuracy of the proposed model’s predictions for tool wear rate values outperforms that of its predictions for MRR and SR values. The XGB model exhibits superior performance compared to the bagging, RF, and ET models, as demonstrated by its higher values of adjusted R2 score, root mean square error, and mean absolute error. The study emphasizes the significance of choosing the best min_samples_split value, with min_samples_split = 2 consistently producing superior results for both RF and ET regressors.
