It is aimed to develop the ANN model using an input-output pattern of raw data collected from an experimental of EDM process, whereas several research objectives have been outlined such as experimenting machining material for selected gap current, identifying machining parameters for ANN variables and selecting appropriate size of data selection. The experimental data (input variables) of copper-electrode and steel-workpiece is based on a selected gap current where pulse on time, pulse off time and sparking frequency have been chosen at optimum value of Material Removal Rate (MRR). In this paper, the result has significantly demonstrated that the ANN model is capable of predicting the MRR with low percentage prediction error when compared with the experimental result.展开更多
