Optimization in turning means determination of the optimal set of the machining parameters to satisfy the objectives within the operational constraints. These objectives may be the minimum tool wear, the maximum metal removal rate (MRR), or any weighted combination of both. The main machining parameters which are considered as variables of the optimization are the cutting speed, feed rate, depth of cut, and nose radius. The optimum set of these four input parameters is determined for a particular job-tool combination of 7075Al alloy-15 wt. % SiC (20–40 μm) composite and tungsten carbide tool during a single-pass turning which minimizes the tool wear and maximizes the metal removal rate. The regression models, developed for the minimum tool wear and the maximum MRR were used for finding the multiresponse optimization solutions. To obtain a trade-off between the tool wear and MRR the, a method for simultaneous optimization of the multiple responses based on an overall desirability function was used. The research deals with the optimization of multiple surface roughness parameters along with MRR in search of an optimal parametric combination (favorable process environment) capable of producing desired surface quality of the turned product in a relatively lesser time (enhancement in productivity). The multi-objective optimization resulted in a cutting speed of 210 m/min, a feed of 0.16 mm/rev, a depth of cut of 0.42 mm, and a nose radius of 0.40 mm. These machining conditions are expected to respond with the minimum tool wear and maximum the MRR, which correspond to a satisfactory overall desirability.

Tool chatter is an unavoidable phenomenon encountered in machining processes. Acquired raw chatter signals are contaminated with various types of ambient noises. Signal processing is an efficient technique to explore chatter as it eliminates unwanted background noise present in the raw signal. In this study, experimentally recorded raw chatter signals have been denoised using wavelet transform in order to eliminate the unwanted noise inclusions. Moreover, effect of machining parameters such as depth of cut ( d), feed rate ( f) and spindle speed ( N) on chatter severity and metal removal rate has been ascertained experimentally. Furthermore, in order to quantify the chatter severity, a new parameter called chatter index has been evaluated considering aforesaid denoised signals. A set of 15 experimental runs have been performed using Box–Behnken design of experiment. These experimental observations have been used to develop mathematical models for chatter index and metal removal rate considering response surface methodology. In order to check the statistical significance of control parameters, analysis of variance has been performed. Furthermore, more experiments are conducted and these results are compared with the theoretical ones in order to validate the developed response surface methodology model.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to develop a mathematical model for optimizing the metal removal rate (MRR) through Response Surface Methodology (RSM). The developed model helps us to analyze the influence of individual input machining parameters (cutting speed, feed rate, weight percentage) on the responses in machining of Al-TiB2 composite. Design/methodology/approach – RSM is used to optimize the MRR by developing a mathematical model. Three factors, three-level box Behnken design matrix in RSM is employed to carry out the experimental investigation. The “Design Expert 8.0” software is used for regression and graphical analysis of the data are collected. The optimum values of the selected variables are obtained by solving the regression equation and by analyzing the response surface contour plots. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) is applied to check the validity of the model and for finding the significant parameters. Findings – The response surface model developed, helps to calculate the MRR at different input cutting parameters with the chosen range with more than 95 per cent confidence intervals. Originality/value – The effect of machining parameters on MRR during machining of Al-TiB2 composites using RSM has not been previously analyzed.

Nanocomposites were prepared with Al-6065-Si and multi walled carbon nanotubes of 1 wt.% as reinforcement through the stir-casting method. Fabricated nanocomposites were machined on a lathe machine using a tungsten carbide tool. The study investigated the multi-objective optimization of the turning operation. Cutting velocity, feed, and depth of cut were considered for providing minimum Surface Roughness of the workpiece. Also, the power consumed by the lathe machine with maximum metal removal rate was examined by surface response methodology. The design of experiments was developed based on rotational central composite design. Analysis of variance was executed to investigate the adequacy and the suitable fit of the developed mathematical models. Multiple regression models were used to represent the relationship between the input and the desired output variables. The analysis indicates that the feed is the most influential factor that effects the surface roughness of the workpiece. Cutting speed and the depth of cut are two other important factors that proportionally influence the power consumed by the lathe tool as compared to the feed rate.

In modern machining industries, tool chatter detection and suppression along with maximized metal removal rate is a challenging task. Inexpedient vibration between cutting tool and work piece promotes unstable cutting. This results in enhanced detritions of tool and poor surface finish along with unpredictable metal removal rate. In the present work, effect of machining parameters such as depth of cut ( d), feed rate ( f) and spindle speed ( N) on chatter severity and metal removal rate have been ascertained experimentally. Experimentally recorded raw chatter signals have been denoised using wavelet transform. An artificial neural network model based on feed forward back propagation network has been proposed for predicting stable cutting zone and metal removal rate in turning process. It has been deduced that Tangent Sigmoid activation function in an artificial neural network is the best option to achieve the aforesaid objectives. Well correlation between the artificial neural network predicted results and experimental ones validate the developed technique of ascertaining the tool chatter severity.

Selection of optimum machining parameters in machining operations leads to good functional attributes for the machined components and increased productivity. In this work, machining parameters and nose radius are optimized in turning of EN25 steel with coated carbide tool by the application of combined Multi-Objective Optimization by Ratio Analysis (MOORA) and entropy measurement method. The selected machining parameters are cutting speed, feed rate, depth of cut and nose radius for minimization of surface roughness, micro-hardness and maximization of Material Removal Rate (MRR). Entropy concept has been used to assign the weight criteria of each objective being considered. The optimum combination of machining parameters and nose radius are obtained using normalized assessment values. The results obtained in the analysis are validated and the results based on turning process responses can be effectively improved.

Over the past decade, the focus of the metal cutting industry has been on the improvement of tool life for achieving higher productivity and better finish. Researchers are attempting to reduce tool failure in several ways such as modified coating characteristics of a cutting tool, conventional coolant, cryogenic coolant, and cryogenic treated insert. In this study, a single layer coating was made on cutting carbide inserts with newly determined thickness. Coating thickness, presence of coating materials, and coated insert hardness were observed. This investigation also dealt with the effect of machining parameters on the cutting force, surface finish, and tool wear when turning Ti-6Al-4V alloy without coating and Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD)-AlCrN coated carbide cutting inserts under cryogenic conditions. The experimental results showed that AlCrN-based coated tools with cryogenic conditions developed reduced tool wear and surface roughness on the machined surface, and cutting force reductions were observed when a comparison was made with the uncoated carbide insert. The best optimal parameters of a cutting speed (Vc) of 215 m/min, feed rate (f) of 0.102 mm/rev, and depth of cut (doc) of 0.5 mm are recommended for turning titanium alloy using the multi-response TOPSIS technique.
