This study is focused on enhancing the energy performance and sustainability of the milling process. Four machine learning (ML) models, namely, multiple linear regression (MLR), support vector regression (SVR), Gaussian process regression (GPR), and adaptive network-based fuzzy inference system (ANFIS), were proposed to estimate specific energy consumption (SEC) in the milling of Ti6-Al4-V under two eco-benign cooling conditions: cryogenic and minimum quantity lubrication (MQL). Several statistical metrics, including normalized mean absolute error (nMAE), mean absolute percentage error (MAPE), normalized root mean square error (nRMSE), maximum absolute percentage error (maxAPE), coefficient of determination (R2), andWillmott’s index of agreement (IA), were employed to validate the performances of the ML models. A high level of agreement between the predicted and experimental SEC data for both the training and test datasets supports the reliability of the proposed ML models. Although the MLR model performed well, the results revealed that the other ML models demonstrated better overall performance. According to the statistical metrics, the models’ predictive performance improved in the following sequence: MLR, SVR, GPR, and finally ANFIS, which demonstrated the highest predictive capability.20262026-05-27 13:32:01Članek v reviji182896sl
