Machine Learning focuses on the study of algorithms that are mathematical or statistical in nature in order to extract the required information pattern from the available data. Supervised Machine Learning algorithms are further sub-divided into two types i.e. regression algorithms and classification algorithms. In the present study, four supervised machine learning-based classification models i.e. Decision Trees algorithm, K- Nearest Neighbors (KNN) algorithm, Support Vector Machines (SVM) algorithm, and Ada Boost algorithm were subjected to the given dataset for the determination of fracture location in dissimilar Friction Stir Welded AA6061-T651 and AA7075-T651 alloy. In the given dataset, rotational speed (RPM), welding speed (mm/min), pin profile, and axial force (kN) were the input parameters while Fracture location is the output parameter. The obtained results showed that the Support Vector Machine (SVM) algorithm classified the fracture location with a good accuracy score of 0.889 in comparison to the other algorithms.
