Gravitational Search Algorithm - Based Optimization of Process Parameters in Micro Turning Process

Article Preview

Abstract:

Micro turning is a scaled down version of conventional turning process, but operating on the micro scale of machining parameters to produce micro components. This paper deals with CNC Micro turning of Inconel 600 alloy with titanium carbide coated tool. Two conflicting objectives, surface roughness and tool flank wear, are simultaneously optimized. Full factorial experiments were taken with several combinations of cutting speed, feed and depth of cut. In this report, a new optimization algorithm based on the law of gravitation and mass interactions, namely Gravitational Search Algorithm (GSA) is aimed to predict the optimal parameter conditions for controlling tool flank wear and better surface finish.
