 ABSTRACT

In the project genetic algorithm was used to optimize the turning process parameters to obtain
maximum material removal rate. The prediction of optimal machining condition for material
removal rate plays an important role in process planning. Thus the objective of project was to
develop an empirical model to predict material removal rate in terms of spindle speed, feed rate
and depth of cut using multiple regressions modeling method. Experiments were carried out on
NC controlled machine tool by taking EN31 (Steel) as work piece material and carbide inserted
cutting tool. Finally, genetic algorithm has been employed to find out the optimal setting of
process parameters that optimize material removal rate. The best response value for material
removal rate obtained from single objective optimization by genetic algorithm was
mm3/min. Comparisons of experimental and predicted results at optimum conditions showed an
error of -26.8952.This provides flexibility to the manufacturing industries to choose the best
setting depending on applications. The MRR values measured from the experiments and their
optimum value for maximum material removal rate. Every day scientists are developing new
materials and for each new material, we need economical and efficient machining. It is also
predicted that Genetic Algorithm is a good method for optimization of various machining
parameters as it reduces the number of experiments. From the literature survey, it can be seen
that there is no work done on EN31 steel.
