Optimal Selection of Machining Parameters by Genetic Algorithms for Face-Milling Operations Based on Minimum Unit Machining Time

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this paper, the parameter optimization problem for face-milling operations is studied. A mathematical model is developed in order to minimize unit machining time. The machining process needs one finishing pass and at least one roughing pass depending on the total depth of cut. Maximum and minimum allowable cutting speeds, feed rates and depths of cut, as well as tool life, surface roughness, cutting force and cutting power consumption are constraints of the model. Optimal values of machining parameters are found by a genetic algorithm (GA). The influence of tool replacement time and GA operators is evaluated.
