This research seeks to develop and test a framework for considering Inductive Hierarchical Analysis (IHA) using Machine Learning (ML) technique in a multistage material design of a gear manufacturing process. A ML model was developed, which implements Random Forest (RF) regression algorithm together with analysis of variance (ANOVA) approach for mapping sets of material and product design variables, thus classifying the design space into feasible and non-feasible solution space. This approach is applied to the design of steel gear within specified performance requirements by exploring the design space for the Process-Structure-Property-Performance (PSPP) relation in the hot rolling process.
