As a search algorithm for optimization based on the mechanics of natural selection and genetics, Genetic Algorithm (GA) has been widely used for solving optimization problems in various fields. According to the present manufacture situation of Austempered Ductile Iron (ADI), three samples with different quenching temperature were prepared and their mechanical properties were tested. The ceramic cutter CC6050 were used in the precise dry cutting experiment and 2205 profilometer was used to measure the surface roughness of the workpieces. The predictive models of the surface roughness during the dry finishing process were established based on Genetic Algorithm, then the results were compared with those gotten by multiple regressions, and the relationship between the surface roughness and the quenching temperature was analyzed. the cutting speed and the feed rate has greater impact on the surface roughness among the three cutting parameters, and the obtained surface roughness was larger as the quenching temperature increased.

Ductile iron can acquire enhanced thermal and mechanical properties from austempering heat treatment. The present study aims to identify the function of different cutting parameters affecting machinability and to quantify its effects. Turning was performed to test machinability according to the ISO3685-1993 (E) standard. After austenitizing at 900 °C for 90 min, austempered ductile iron (ADI) specimens were quenched in a salt bath at 380 °C for 90 min. The cutting force signals along three directions were measured in real time, whereas flank wear and surface roughness were measured offline. For the cutting parameters, the cutting speed and depth of cut were varied, but the feed rate was kept constant. In the flank wear tests, machining length was corresponded to tool life. In addition, in order to find out the effect of cutting parameters on surface roughness (Ra), tangential force (Ft), and flank wear (VB) during turning, response surface methodology (RSM) was utilized by using experimental data. The effect of the depth of cut on the surface roughness was negligible but considerable in the cutting forces. The increased cutting speed produced a positive effect on surface roughness. It is found that the cutting speed was the dominant factor on the surface roughness, tangential force, and flank wear.

Three cutting tools of different materials (ceramics CC6050, cubic boron nitride CB7025, carbide GC2025) are used for dry turning of 9 groups of ADI which heat-treated under different quenching time and quenching temperature. The surface roughness of ADI workpieces were tested after the finish turning at changed cutting parameters, and the influencing factors of surface quality were analysed. Results showed that the surface roughness values of all 9 groups of ADI workpieces obtained by CC6050 were the lowest and the surface quality was better at lower depth of cut ap and feed rate f with higher cutting speed vc . Meanwhile, the surface roughness was influenced by the isothermal quenching parameters of ADI workpieces significantly.

Titanium alloys are being widely used in the aerospace, biomedical and automotive industries because of their good strength-to-weight ratio and superior corrosion resistance. Surface roughness is one of the most important requirements in machining of Titanium alloys. This paper describes mathematically the effect of cutting parameters on Surface roughness in end milling of Ti6Al4V. The mathematical model for the surface roughness has been developed in terms of cutting speed, feed rate, and axial depth of cut using design of experiments and the response surface methodology (RSM). Central composite design was employed in developing the surface roughness models in relation to primary cutting parameters. The experimental results indicate that the proposed mathematical models suggested could adequately describe the performance indicators within the limits of the factors that are being investigated. The developed RSM is coupled as a fitness function with genetic algorithm to predict the optimum cutting conditions leading to the least surface roughness value. MATLAB 7.0 toolbox for GA is used to develop GA program. The predicted results are in good agreement with the experimental one and hence the model can be efficiently used to achieve the minimum surface roughness value.

AbstractThe cutting parameters such as the cutting speed, the feed rate, the depth of cut, etc. are expected to affect the two constituents of surface integrity (SI), i.e., surface roughness and micro-hardness. An attempt has been made in this paper to investigate the effect of the CNC hard turning parameters on the surface roughness average (Ra) and the micro-hardness (μh) of AISI 52100 hard steel under dry cutting conditions. Nine experimental runs based on an orthogonal array of the Taguchi method were performed and grey relational analysis method was subsequently applied to determine an optimal cutting parameter setting. The feed rate was found to be the most influential factor for both the Ra and the μh. Further, the results of the analysis of variance (ANOVA) revealed that the cutting speed is the most significant controlled factor for affecting the SI in the turning operation according to the weighted sum grade of the surface roughness average and micro-hardness.

In this study, the relationship between the spindle vibration and surface roughness was investigated and the effect of the cutting parameters on surface roughness and spindle vibration during the machining of Aluminum alloy 7075 (Al 7075) were determined. Experimental studies have been carried out on a CNC turning machine using coated cemented carbide cutting tools under dry cutting environment. L64 full factorial design of experiments was used to investigate the optimal machining parameters for spindle vibration and surface roughness. The influences of machining parameters on vibration and surface roughness were evaluated by using analysis of variance (ANOVA) and main effect plots. The results revealed that the feed rate was the most effective cutting parameters on spindle vibration and surface roughness. The machine tool vibration amplitude and surface roughness values were significantly increased with increasing cutting feed. The depth of cut and cutting speed have the least effect on the spindle vibration and indicated an insignificant effect on surface roughness. Mathematical equations were developed to predict the vibration and surface roughness values using the regression analysis.

This research applies the fractional factorial design of experiment approach to studied the influence of cutting parameters on surface roughness. The measured results were collected and analyzed using commercial software package called Minitab. Analysis of variances is used to examine the influence of turning factors and factor interactions on surface roughness. The result indicated that, there are inherent differences in surface roughness between wet and dry cutting process with the same parameters process model. Analysis of variance was found that feed parameter is the most significant cutting parameter, which influences the surface roughness. The most significant interactions were found between cutting speed and feed parameters for dry turning process. Therefore is a significant effect of using combination of the fluid for cooling the cutting operation.

The study deals with the machinability properties of austempered ductile iron using cubic boron nitride cutting tools. To emphasize the role of the austempering process, ductile iron specimens were first austenitized in salt bath at 900°C for 60min, after which they were quenched in a salt bath at 250°C and 325°C for 60min. Machining tests were carried out at various cutting speeds under the constant depth of cut and the feed rate. Tool performance was evaluated based on the workpiece surface roughness and flank wear. The influence of the austempering temperature and cutting speed on the chip form was also studied. The results point out that the lower austempering temperature results in the increase in the cutting forces, while better surface roughness is attained.
