More about the problem of cutting parameters optimization

Abstract

In recent years we can see thebooming of models and methods for cutting
parametersoptimization. Some of them are said to be simple, quick and
efficient. But from technological point of view, the overly simple models
are unable to describe the right machining process, being non-linear in
nature with appropriate technical and economic constraints. This paper
introduces the linear, non-linear, single-objective and multi-objective
optimization models, that consider every basic technological factors and
constraints. The turning process of titanium alloy Ti-6Al-4V is offered as
the case study. Some traditional and modern methods are employed and
compared. Results show that this method may be the most suitable.
