Mathematical simulation and optimization of cutting modes in turning of titanium alloy workpieces

Abstract

A predictive modeling technique of optimal cutting modes in machining of workpieces made of titanium alloys, different from the well-known ones, is offered. The influence of various factors on the process of cutting for the purpose of defining optimal parameters of machining in accordance with certain effectiveness criteria is examined in the present paper. Mathematical models of optimization, algorithms and computer programmes, visual graphical forms presenting dependences of effectiveness criteria on the master schedule parameters have been worked out. Verification of mathematical models in laboratory and working conditions has been carried out.
