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.

This article is focused on the investigation of stable cutting zone in turning operation. Experiments have been conducted to acquire raw chatter signals. Generally, raw chatter signals are contaminated with ambient noise. Wavelet transform has been used for pre-processing and denoising these signals. In order to predict the severity of tool chatter, a new parameter denoted as chatter index has been evaluated considering the aforesaid denoised signals. In the present work, mathematical models have been developed for chatter index and metal removal rate using feedforward backpropagation–based artificial neural network considering three activation functions: TANSIG, LOGSIG and PURELIN. Furthermore, multi-objective genetic algorithm technique has been applied to evaluate stable cutting zones with maximized metal removal rate. TANSIG activation function found to be best option to achieve the aforesaid objectives. Good correlation between the artificial neural network predicted results and experimental ones validate the developed technique.
