Four operation parameters were studied, the gap between the work piece and the electromagnetic inductor, the current that generate the flux, the rotational Spindale speed and amount of abrasive powder size considering constant linear feed movement between machine head and workpiece. Adaptive Neuro fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) was implemented for evaluation of a series of experiments and a verification with respect to specimen roughness change has been optimized and usefully achieved by obtained results were an average of the error between the surface roughness predicted by model simulation and that of direct measure is 2.0222 %. http://pubs.sciepub.com/materials/1/3/5/materials-1-3-5.pdf magnetic abrasive finishing (MAF) adaptive Neuro fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) (AR) average roughness (RMSE) root mean square error membership function (MF)
