The friction and wear behavior of ultra-nanocrystalline diamond (UNCD) films are sensitive to the phase composition, mainly graphite and amorphous carbon (a-C), occupying the grain boundaries of sp3 hybridized diamond nanocrystals.
The present work deals with the prediction of optimal parametric data-set with maximum material removal rate (MRR) and a minimum electrode wear ratio (EWR) during Electrical discharge machining (EDM) of AISI 316LN Stainless Steel. For this purpose, empirical models showing relation between inputs and outputs were developed using response surface methodology. Desirability-based multi-objective particle swarm optimization-original, desirability-based multi-objective particle swarm optimization-inertia weight, and desirability-based multi-objective particle swarm optimization-constriction factor are then used to estimate the optimal process parameters for maximum MRR and minimum EWR. The results obtained by applying these three desirability-based multi-objective particle swarm optimization (DMPSO) algorithms are compared. From the comparison and confirmatory experiment, it can be observed that DMPSO-CF is the most efficient algorithm for the optimization of EDM parameters.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
