Abstract Optimization of the end milling process is a combinatorial task due to the involvement of a large number of process variables and performance characteristics. Process-specific numerical models or mathematical functions are required for the evaluation of parametric combinations in order to improve the quality of the machined parts and machining time. This problem could be categorized as the offline data-driven optimization problem. For such problems, the surrogate or predictive models are useful, which could be employed to approximate the objective functions for the optimization algorithms. This paper presents a data-driven surrogate-assisted optimizer to model the end mill cutting of aluminum alloy on a desktop milling machine. To facilitate that, material removal rate (MRR), surface roughness (Ra), and cutting forces are considered as the functions of tool diameter, spindle speed, feed rate, and depth of cut. The principal methodology is developed using a Bayesian regularized neural network (surrogate) and a beetle antennae search algorithm (optimizer) to perform the process optimization. The relationships among the process responses are studied using Kohonen’s self-organizing map. The proposed methodology is successfully compared with three different optimization techniques and shown to outperform them with improvements of 40.98% for MRR and 10.56% for Ra. The proposed surrogate-assisted optimization method is prompt and efficient in handling the offline machining data. Finally, the validation has been done using the experimental end milling cutting carried out on aluminum alloy to measure the surface roughness, material removal rate, and cutting forces using dynamometer for the optimal cutting parameters on desktop milling center. From the estimated surface roughness value of 0.4651 μm, the optimal cutting parameters have given a maximum material removal rate of 44.027 mm3/s with less amplitude of cutting force on the workpiece. The obtained test results show that more optimal surface quality and material removal can be achieved with the optimal set of parameters.

This paper proposes a roller burnishing method that controls the sliding direction of the burnishing tool on the surface of cylindrical workpiece. In this study, the sliding direction was set by inclining the axis of the burnishing tool with respect to the axis of the workpiece and by actively rotating the roller of the burnishing tool. The workpiece was a cylindrical aluminum alloy bar, which was rotated in a bench lathe. The burnished surfaces at several sliding angles between 15º and 90º were evaluated. The sliding direction, which is set according to a theoretical equation, was experimentally obtained for every sliding angle in the range of 15-90º with respect to the circumferential direction of the workpiece. The sectional profile was flattened and surface roughness was decreased with increasing sliding angle. As a result, the burnished surfaces obtained in this work were superior to those obtained in an earlier study by the authors, in which the burnishing tool was not actively rotated.

7075 aluminum alloy is widely used due to its great performance, especially in aerospace area. In this paper, ultrasonic-assisted grinding technology is used to process 7075 aluminum alloy. The data is obtained through experiments, and the surface roughness and morphology of ultrasonic assisted grinding and conventional grinding under different spindle speeds, feed rates, and amplitudes are analyzed. Research has found that the increase in spindle speed and amplitude will improve the quality of the machined surface and reduce the surface roughness by 82.1% and 36%. However, with the increase of feed rate, the surface quality decreased significantly, and the surface roughness increased by 55.6%. The surface micro-morphology of the machined workpiece is observed, and the effects of different processing parameters on the surface micro-morphology are obtained.

Abstract In this study, the tribological properties of 7075 aluminum alloy produced by ultrasonic melt treatment (UST) are investigated. Tribological properties of untreated and ultrasonically treated samples under dry and lubricated sliding conditions were analyzed experimentally by the block on ring test method. Worn surfaces of untreated and ultrasonically treated samples were scanned by 3D optical profilometer and analyzed to search out wear characteristics in the material. Furthermore, microstructural examinations were conducted to investigate the beneficial effects of UST on the microstructural properties of the alloy using optical and scanning electron microscopy. According to the results obtained, UST refines the α-Al phase of the alloy and disperses precipitates to grain boundaries more uniformly. Also, hardness and density of the alloy increased through the effect of UST. Due to these favorable effects, the wear resistance of the alloy increased and the worn surfaces of the ultrasonically treated samples exhibited lower surface roughness according to 3D surface roughness measurements.
