Optimization of cutting parameters in turning

Determination of optimal cutting parameters is one of the most important elements in any process planning of metal parts. This paper presents a multi objective optimization technique based on computer program, to optimize the cutting parameters in turning process viz. cutting speed, feed and depth of cut. Two objectives i.e. surface finish and tool life are simultaneously optimized. The proposed model uses a C-Program in order to obtain the dominated points and build the graph. An application sample is developed and its results are analyzed.
