Abstract

This paper presents an approach to the determination of the optimal cutting parameters to create minimum surface roughness levels in the face milling of X20Cr13 stainless steel. The proposed approach is to use a particle swarm optimization (PSO)-based neural network to create a predictive model for the surface roughness level that is based on experimental data collected on X20Cr13. The optimization problem is then solved using a PSO-based neural network for optimization system (PSONNOS). A good agreement is observed between the predicted surface roughness values and those obtained in experimental measurements performed using the predicted optimal machine settings. The PSONNOS is compared to the genetic algorithm optimized neural network system (GONNS).
