摘要

This study investigates the tribological behavior of wire arc additive-fabricated SS316L stainless steel, concentrating on optimizing and predicting specific wear rates (SWRs) and coefficients of friction (COFs) using an ensemble machine learning model. This model, which integrates artificial neural networks, long short-term memory, and random forest, attained high prediction accuracy (R2 = 0.9946 for SWR, R2 = 0.9884 for COF), effectively minimizing prediction errors and reducing experimental trials. The optimized parameters (sliding velocity: 40 cm/s, load: 27.27 N, sliding distance: 603.6 m) decreased the SWR (6.62159 × 10−5 mm3/Nm) and COF (0.399738). Scanning electron microscopy analysis indicated a transition from mild abrasive wear at lower loads to severe adhesive wear at higher loads, while EDS confirmed that key elements influence wear resistance. This study highlights the combined efficacy of RSM optimization and ensemble machine learning in improving predictive accuracy and optimizing tribological performance.
