The materials are machined using a combination of chemical and thermal energy. This paper examines the effect of Artificial Neural Network (ANN) architectures combined with particle swarm optimization (PSO) on the predictive ability of tungsten carbide machining. Material removal rate (MRR) and surface roughness (SR) is the response used to evaluate the performance of the ECDM process. The four selected process parameters are voltage, gap width, electrode type, and type of electrolyte, with each parameter has two levels. The 4-9-1 structure was chosen to obtain pre-dictions in the form of an optimal formula based on the statistical values for surface roughness: MSE 0.001, RMSE 0.025, MAPE 1.36, and R2 0.99.
