Explainable AI and data-driven modeling of tool wear in Dry–MQL-assisted turning of D2 tool steel using AIMPOD
摘要
Tool wear prediction is critical for maintaining dimensional accuracy, process stability, and tooling economy in hard turning, yet many existing approaches remain too complex or insufficiently interpretable for routine production-floor use. This study develops an explainable, data-driven framework for modeling tool flank wear in dry- and minimum-quantity-lubrication (MQL)-assisted turning of hardened D2 steel using the Artificial Intelligence-based Manufacturing Process Optimization and Design (AIMPOD) workflow. The input variables were depth of cut, feed rate, cutting speed, and lubrication mode, while average flank wear (
