The Study of EDM Parameters in Finishing Stage on Electrode Wear Ratio Using Hybrid Model

Abstract:

In this study, the influence of different electro discharge machining parameters (current, pulse on-time, pulse off-time, arc voltage) on the electrode wear ratio as a result of application copper electrode to hot work steel DIN1.2344 has been investigated. Design of the experiment was chosen as full factorial. Artificial neural network has been used to choose proper machining parameters and to reach certain electrode wear ratio. Finally a hybrid model has been designed to reduce the artificial neural network errors. The experiment results indicated a good performance of proposed method in optimization of such a complex and non-linear problems.
