摘要

Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM) is widely employed for the accurate machining of challenging materials such as Inconel 718 alloy. The present work studies the influence of cryogenic treatment of copper electrode, voltage, current and pulse duration on the Material Removal Rate (MRR), Electrode Wear Rate (EWR) and Overcut (OC) in EDM machining of Inconel 718 alloy. This study also investigated the predictive efficacy of various machine learning (ML) Models-Linear Regression (LR), Support Vector Regression (SVR), Random Forest (RF), Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost), and Adaptive Boosting (AdaBoost) in modeling of MRR and EWR. A comprehensive assessment was conducted utilizing performance metrics such as Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) and Coefficient of Determination (R2) and Taylor diagrams, which simultaneously assess standard deviation, correlation coefficient, and centered RMSE. The results exhibited that ensemble models, particularly XGBoost and AdaBoost, achieved enhanced predictive accuracy and generalization performance in both training and testing datasets. XGBoost achieved the highest predictive performance for MRR with an R2 of 0.9941 and RMSE of 0.0157 on the test set and for EWR, AdaBoost exhibited the best test performance with an R2 of 0.9912 and RMSE of 0.0020. Taylor diagrams further confirmed the closeness of ensemble models to the ideal prediction zone. These findings are supported by residual analysis and explainable AI tools, SHapley Additive exPlanation (SHAP) and Local Interpretable Model-agnostic Explanations (LIME), which highlighted current and voltage as dominant parameters influencing MRR and EWR. The integration of explainable AI enhances interpretability and validates the alignment of the model with physical EDM principles, enabling the advancement of intelligent decision support systems in advanced machining applications.
