Popis: In this study, it isattempted to model and optimize the wire electrical discharge machining (WEDM)process using Taguchi design of experiment and artificial neural network. Aneural network with back propagation algorithm was developed to predict theperformance characteristic, namely surface roughness. An approach to determineoptimal machining parameters setting was proposed based on the Taguchi designmethod. In addition, analysis of variance (ANOVA) was performed to identify thesignificant parameter affecting the surface roughness. Experimentalconfirmations were carried out to indicate the effectiveness of this proposedoptimization method and a good improvement was obtained. The performance ofartificial neural network (ANN) was measured with the mean square error and itwas observed that the developed ANN model could predict effectively.
