Abstract
High-pressure jet-assisted turning is an effective method to decrease the cutting force and surface roughness. Efficiency of this process is related to application of proper jet pressure proportional to other process parameters. In this research, experiments were conducted for high-pressure jet-assisted turning in finishing AISI 304 austenitic stainless steel, based on response surface method. Against the expectations, the maximum jet pressure could not lead to the most efficient results, which means that applying high-pressure jet-assisted turning without considering optimal process parameters will diminish the improving effects of high-pressure jet assistance. For this purpose, two artificial neural networks were trained by genetic algorithm to model the surface roughness and cutting force based on the process parameters. Ultimately, nondominated sorting genetic algorithm was implemented for multi-objective optimization of process. Results demonstrated that the employed method provides an effective approach that indicates optimized range of process parameters.
