Smart Machining of Titanium Grade 7: ANFIS Application for Process Parameter Prediction

Electrochemical machining (ECM) is a highly efficient method for creating intricate structures in materials that conduct electricity, regardless of their level of hardness. Due to the growing demand for superior products and the necessity for quick design adjustments, decision-making in the manufacturing industry has grown increasingly intricate. This study specifically examines Titanium Grade 5 and suggests the creation of an Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) model for predictive modelling in ECM. The study employs a Taguchi-grey relational analysis (GRA) methodology to attain multi-objective optimization, with the goal of concurrently maximizing material removal rate, minimizing surface roughness, and achieving precise geometric tolerances. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) is used to assess the relevance of process characteristics that impact these performance measures. The ANFIS model presented for Titanium Grade 5 provides more flexibility, efficiency, and accuracy in comparison to conventional approaches, allowing for greater monitoring and control in ECM operations. Moreover, the study investigates the potential uses of Titanium Grade 5 in the automotive industry, emphasizing its crucial function in sectors that demand resilient materials in corrosive surroundings. The experimental validation demonstrates a strong correlation between the projected results and the actual performance, so confirming the effectiveness of the ANFIS-based strategy.
