An Evolutionary Strategy for Optimizing Multi-pass Turning Operation under Dry Machining Conditions

Determination of optimal cutting parameters for satisfying certain technological and economical conditions has been one of the most important elements in process planning for metal cutting operations. However, none of the earlier studies for solving such machining problems took into account the influence of the use of cutting fluids. In recent years, many researchers and experts have urged to eliminate the use of cutting fluids in machining operations to avoid casuing environmental problems. Machining without cutting fluids has then become a new trend on technological innovation. This paper presents an evolutionary strategy based optimization technique to optimize the cutting conditions in multi-pass turning processes under dry machining application.
