In this paper we present a multi-optimization technique
based on genetic algorithms to search optimal cuttings parameters such as
cutting depth, feed rate and cutting speed of multi-pass turning processes. Tow
objective functions are simultaneously optimized under a set of practical of
machining constraints, the first objective function is cutting cost and the
second one is the used tool life time. The proposed model deals multi-pass
turning processes where the cutting operations are divided into multi-pass
rough machining and finish machining. Results obtained from Genetic Algorithms
method are presented in Pareto frontier graphic; this technique helps us in
decision making process. An example is presented to illustrate the procedure of
this technique.
