Optimization of Surface Roughness in Turning Operation Using Firefly Algorithm

Abstract:

Recently, Firefly Algorithm (FA) has become an important technique to solve optimization problems. Various FA variants have been developed to suit various applications. In this paper, FA is used to optimize machining parameters such as % Volume fraction of SiC (V), cutting speed (S), feed rate (F), depth of cut (D) and machining time (T). The optimal machining cutting parameters estimated by FA that lead to a minimum surface roughness are validated using ANOVA test.
