Magnesium alloys are widely used in numerous engineering applications owing to their superior structural characteristics. However, the machining of magnesium alloy is challenging because of its poor machinability characteristics. Therefore, this paper investigates the machining of magnesium alloys under different sustainable cooling conditions. The machining was performed by varying cutting velocity, feed rate, and depth of cut under dry and cryogenic cooling conditions. The primary focus of the paper is to develop a predictive model for surface roughness under different machining environments. The models developed were found to be in excellent agreement with experimental results, with only 0.3 to 1.6% error. Multi-objective optimization were also performed so that the best surface finish together with high material removal rate could be achieved. Furthermore, the various parameters of surface integrity (i.e., surface roughness, micro-hardness, micro-structures, crystallite size, and lattice strain) were also investigated.

Cellulose based hybrid composites are gaining popularity in the growing green communities. With extensive studies and increasing applications for future advancement, the need for an accurate and reliable guidance in machining this type of composites has increased enormously. Smooth and defect free machined surface are always the ultimate objectives. The present work deals with the study of machining parameters (i.e. spindle speed, feed rate and depth of cut) and their effects on machining performance (i.e. surface roughness and delamination) to establish an optimized setup of machining parameters in achieving multi objective machining performance. Cellulose based hybrid composites consist of jute (a bast fiber) and glass fiber embedded in polyester resins. Response Surface Methodology (RSM) using Box-Behnken Design (BBD) was chosen as the design of experiment approach for this study. Based on that experimental approach, 17 experimental runs were conducted. Mathematical model for each response was developed based on the experimental data. Adequacy of the models were analyzed statistically using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) in determining the significant input variables and possible interactions. The multi objective optimization was performed through numerical optimization, and the predicted results were validated. The agreement between the experimental and selected solution was found to be strong, between 95% to 96%, thus validating the solution as the optimal machining condition. The findings suggest that feed rate was the main factor affecting surface roughness and delamination .

In this work, for the first time an attempt has been made to carry out multi-objective optimization for tool based microturning process parameters using particle swarm optimization (PSO) technique. The input microturning process parameters considered are speed, feed and depth of cut. The output parameters considered are material removal rate (MRR), surface roughness (Ra) and tool wear (TW). The significant parameters are identified individually using ANOVA and main effect plots. However, it is observed that the main goal of the manufacturers is to produce high quality products in shorter interval of time. In order to meet the above objective, multi-objective optimization is carried out to achieve simultaneously higher MRR, low Ra and low TW using PSO. From the PSO analysis, it is observed that the combination of microturning parameters such as speed (18.25 m/min), feed (9.31 μm/rev) and depth of cut (14.61 μm) results in high MRR, low Ra and low tool wear. The PSO analysis indicates that it is a promising optimization algorithm due to its simplicity, low computational cost and good performance. A confirmation test was carried out to validate the predicted results.

In this article, a multi-objective optimization of turning process study is presented. Two output parameters of the turning process taken into consideration are surface roughness and Material Removal Rate (MRR). Taguchi method has been applied to design the experimental matrix with four input parameters including nose radius, cutting velocity, feed rate and cutting depth. Copras method has been employed to solve the multi-objective optimization problem. Finally, the optimal values of the input parameters have been determined to simultaneously ensure the two criteria of the minimum surface roughness and the maximum MRR.

Magnetic abrasive finishing is a super finishing process in which the magnetic field is applied in the finishing area and the material is removed from the workpiece by magnetic abrasive particles in the form of microchips. The performance of this process is decided by its two important quality characteristics, material removal rate and surface roughness. Significant process variables affecting these two characteristics are rotational speed of tool, working gap, weight of abrasive, and feed rate. However, material removal rate and surface roughness being conflicting in nature, a compromise has to be made between these two objective to improve the overall performance of the process. Hence, a multi-objective optimization using an artificial bee colony algorithm coupled with response surface methodology for mathematical modeling is attempted in this work. The set of Pareto-optimal solutions obtained by multi-objective optimization offers a ready reference to process planners to decide appropriate process parameters for a particular scenario.
