Gorilla Troops Optimizer Combined with ANFIS for Wire Cut EDM of Aluminum Alloy

Wire cut EDM is a quite regularly used machining process in mechanical and electronic industries. This research has attempted to machine aluminum alloy for which experimental design was prepared using Box-Behnken design. Different combinational options of pulse-on time (P1), pulse-off time (P2), ser...

description Wire cut EDM is a quite regularly used machining process in mechanical and electronic industries. This research has attempted to machine aluminum alloy for which experimental design was prepared using Box-Behnken design. Different combinational options of pulse-on time (P1), pulse-off time (P2), servo wire feed (WF), and current (I) were investigated and surface roughness after machining was observed. Collected 27 datasets were further used in Adaptive Neuro Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) to produce about 500 datasets. These 500 datasets are approximated data derived from experimental datasets, known as synthetic data. Data model was further developed and used in Gorilla Troops Optimizer (GTO) to locate the optimum machining parameters. With the excellent three search operators: move towards other gorillas, migrate towards unknown places, and migrate towards known places, GTO has produced the lowest surface roughness value of 0.500953 μm when the machining parameters of pulse-on time, pulse-off time, wire feed, and current values were set as 121 μs, 52 μs, 3 m/min, and 166A, respectively. To ensure the accuracy of the synthetic data-based model and optimality, verification and validation were conducted. Wilcoxon signed rank test was conducted for the pairwise comparison of GTO with each of its competing algorithms at the significance level of σ = 0.05. Friedman test was conducted to calculate the average ranking of each algorithm and to detect the global differences between all compared algorithms. Outperforming performance by GTO algorithm in machining of the selected material is found.
