Abstract

In modern industrial manufacturing, minimizing machining time is essential to enhance productivity and reduce overall production costs. This study presents an artificial intelligence (AI) approach for optimizing face milling parameters to increase the material removal rate (MRR) of EN8 steel. Experiments were carried out on VMC named (HURCO-VM10) using a 75 mm diameter face milling cutter. The parameters considered include feed, cutting velocity and depth of cut (DOC). To enhance the capabilities of traditional statistical optimization, machine learning-based predictive modelling is used to capture the nonlinear relationship between machining parameters and MRR. The results show that the most prominent parameter is DOC, which contributes 72.67% of MRR variance, followed by feed rate (14.72%) and cutting velocity (8.58%). Regression-based learning models are used to assess experimental trends and forecast MRR outside of discrete experimental settings.
