摘要

The present study investigates the prediction of wear behavior of AA7075/SiC composites using supervised machine learning (ML) algorithms, emphasizing the role of hyperparameter tuning in enhancing model accuracy. Experimental wear data were generated through pin-on-disc tests under varying SiC reinforcement contents (0–9 wt.%), applied loads, sliding velocities, and sliding distances. Two ensemble-based ML algorithms—Random Forest (RF) and Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost)—have been developed to model the nonlinear relationship between input process parameters and wear rate. Hyperparameter optimization using Grid Search significantly improved predictive performance, yielding R2 ≈ 0.89 and RMSE ≈ 0.0009 for both models. Statistical and residual analyses confirmed that the tuned models provided unbiased and normally distributed errors, ensuring strong generalization capability. The results indicated that SiC reinforcement was the most influential parameter in reducing wear rate, followed by load and sliding distance. The study demonstrates that integrating experimental tribological data with optimized ML algorithms offers a robust and efficient framework for data-driven prediction and process optimization in aluminum matrix composites.
