EDM is a non-conventional method of electro-thermal machining process where electrical energy produces electrical sparks. To learn the performance of the process parameter on the response variable, the experiment was carried out on EN-24 steel with a copper electrode. For analysis, process parameters like current, pulse on time, voltage are considered. The Matlab ANN Toolbox is used for
modeling purpose. ANN Model is developed with Traingdx, Learngdx, MSE, Logsig as training, learning, performance, and transfer functions, using a Feed-forward back-propagation as an algorithm with three nodes in the input layer and one node in the output layer for material removal rate (MRR), electrode wear rate (EWR), surface roughness (SR), using various nodes in hidden layers. Eight networks are tried 3-1-3, 3-3-3, 3-6-3, 3-7-3, 3- 1-3, 3-3-3-3-3, 3-6-6-3 and 3-7-7-3 structure. To predict the value of the response variable, a 3-7-3 network structure is found as best fit for the proposed model.
