Application of Teaching

Abstract

Recently advanced machining processes are widely used by manufacturing industries in order to produce high quality precise and very complex products. These advanced machining processes involve large number of input parameters which may affect the cost and quality of the products. Selection of optimum machining parameters in such advanced machining processes is very important to satisfy all the conflicting objectives of the process. This algorithm is inspired by the teaching-learning process and it works on the effect of influence of a teacher on the output of learners in a class. This paper presents the application of Response Surface Methodology coupled with newly developed advanced algorithm Teaching Learning Based Optimization Technique (TLBO) is applied for the process parameters optimization for ball end milling process on Inconel 718 cantilevers. The machining and tool related parameters like spindle speed, milling feed, workpiece thickness and workpiece inclination with tool path orientation are optimized with considerations of multiple response like deflection, surface roughness, and micro hardness of plate.
